Welcome to Alone Star Jewelry - home of Texas handmade jewelry!

We are born and bred Texans who love making jewelry.  Our goal is to create unique handmade jewelry that reflects both the flavor of our growing up in Texas and additional personal interests and ideas.  Many of the jewelry pieces can’t help being unique and truly Texan, but in our growing collection you will find designs that do transcend local flavor.

Our collection of handmade and original designs are made from sterling and fine silver and gemstones like turquoise, coral, blue topaz, peridot, aventurine, and more, but we like using other materials like ceramic and polymer clay and leather, too.

We love silver. 

All silver handmade jewelry components like pendants, charms, plates and large beads are made by Alone Star Jewelry.  We use both sterling silver and precious metal clay (PMC).  Metal clay is a malleable compound in which tiny particles of silver (or gold) are suspended in a binder. Once a piece is formed and dried, it is fired in a kiln at high temperatures that burn out the binder and leave pure silver or gold.  Sterling (.925) silver usually has copper in it (there can be other alloys besides copper), which is why it tarnishes. Metal clay (.999) has no copper, which drastically reduces tarnishing if fired and cleaned properly.

Metal clay vs. sterling silver.

There is much discussion about the strength of metal clay—pure silver—versus that of sterling.  Pure silver is not as hard as sterling because it lacks an alloy (as noted above); however, when properly fired metal clay jewelry is just as durable, especially for earrings, necklace pendants and chains, even bracelet charms, findings, and rings.  Our pieces are fired to the highest temperature and time designated for metal clay, which gives it maximum density and strength.  Our pure silver components have given us the same durability as those in sterling, with drastically reduced tarnishing and equal beauty.  We speak from experience that metal clay is entirely appropriate for everyday wear!
