Introduction: Indian Polymer Clay Jewelry
Polymer Clay is used for many purposes one of which jewelry. From classic to modern designs all can be done by polymer clay. So I have planned to prepare a jewelry based on Indian design.I preferred some shiny colors. I selected Gold which is very much needed and rose. One of the shiny shades of rose is Fuchsia Pearl.

Step 2: Design
We have to just imagine how will our pendant and earring look like. The above picture will say the design that I have planned.Here Black will be in the bottom and gold and rose will be above it.Many color combination can be used. Blue and green is a very good combination.
Step 3: Preparing Pendant
Each Photo will perform each step which is given below:
1. Flat the Polymer clay and roll it with a roller.
2. Keep the bigger cutter on top of it and press.

6. And additional to it as shown in the design cut out the part which is needed with the cutter.

18. Add a eye pin in top of the pendant.
Step 4: Preparing Earrings
Follow the same procedure as the pendant for the earrings except the following
1. Use small cutter.
2. Don't need to use the polymer gun to make the arc.
3. Instead of eye pins use head pins and attach it from the bottom.
Step 5: Preparing Beads

2. Cut the excess wire and roll it in with round pliers
3. Now take a jump pin and connect both the earring and fish hook.
4. Follow the same procedure for another earring
Step 8: Making It Shiny...
