More Information
There are different ways to securely set the foot of the brooch.
Use syringe to decorate over the foot – this works best on top of a dry clay base
Cut out a small shape of thin clay and use paste to secure the foot between this and the base of clay (this can be done on top of a dry or moist clay base).
The shape can be applied dry which will keep a crisp look, or wet which will let it shape around the foot.
Simply push the foot into the wet/soft clay, smudge the clay closed over the opening, and if needed, fill any gap with silver paste.
Remember to measure where to put the two bases to make sure the brooch pin can reach across. Once the foot is set, and the piece is fired, fit the pin into the holder then squeeze it shut using pliers.
Base parts are 980 silver
Pin is nickel silver with rhodium plate
