Polymer clay is a wonderful non-toxic material that is used by artists and hobbyists alike. It's a man-made alternative to natural clay that allows for a whole realm of creative possibilities. Like natural clay, it is sculpted and formed while soft, and hardened in a curing process under heat.
The beauty of polymer clay jewelry is that it is extremely lightweight! Most of my earrings weigh around a 1/4 ounce (under 8 grams, and less than the weight of a quarter coin!), and even large, 4" long pieces are just barely double that. It makes for effortlessly easy all-day wear.
