Jewellery made with these complex patterns takes many hours to design and then to make the many manipulations of the clay to form the intricate pattern. A number for small pieces are cut and combined with great precision to make make the final piece. Once cured each piece is carefully sanded to give a smooth texture to the surface It can take between 20 to 50 hours to design and make jewellery with these complex designs.
Only a few pieces are made with each design. Because of this complexity it is not possible to replicate this particular pattern exactly again.
