Welcome to Alone Star Jewelry! We are two sisters, native Texans, creators of silver handmade jewelry. Four years ago we decided to start selling, so created this website and began attending local shows. Join our mailing list for our schedule and jewelry specials!

Many of our handmade jewelry designs have a true Texas flavor, but in our growing collection are pieces that transcend local flavor. We make all of our own precious metal and metal components. Silver and copper pendants, earring drops, large silver beads, charms, and bracelet plates are all handmade, one-of-a-kind designs.

We like to explore new materials and techniques. While most of our jewelry is made from sterling silver and precious metal clay (PMC), other materials include a variety of gemstones, glass and crystal beads, clay, leather, and copper. We are currently moving into the new bronze and copper metal clays.

Thanks for having a look, and let us know what you think!

What Is Metal Clay?

Metal clays (precious metal clay or PMC) are composed of tiny particles of silver, gold, bronze or copper suspended in a binder. Once formed and dried, the clay is fired in a kiln or with a torch, which renders pure metal. Metal clays must be fired properly in order to attain greatest strength. At Alone Star, metal clays are kiln-fired to maximum recommended times and temperatures. Thus, our components are strong and durable enough to handle everyday wear -- four years of success is our proof!

Silver metal clay will also resist tarnishing much longer than sterling silver because it contains no copper or other alloys like sterling does (fine silver is .999 pure; sterling is .925 pure).
