These charms are handmade exclusively by YasuJutaro. Initially, the charms are formed from a piece of clay made up of silver recovered from photo processing with an organic binder. The clay is molded and dried and then handcarved and sanded. Final finishing is done after being kiln-fired. Each art piece becomes a charm or pendant that is made up of fine silver (99.5%). Custom charms are available to be added to any necklace or bracelet. Please email pamgillie@yasujutaro.com for more details.
