Complete Precious Metal Alloy Recipe Collection

My Complete Precious Metal Alloy Recipe Collection

These are the precious metal alloy recipes I use at my own bench for hand fabricated jewelry.

Over the years, I began mixing my own metals so I could have greater control over the alloys I was working with and create blends suited to the demands of hand fabrication.

For the first time, I’m putting these recipes together into one complete collection.

Inside, you’ll get my guides for:

• 18K Yellow Gold

• 18K Rose Gold

• 18K Nickel-Free White Gold

• 10% Iridium Platinum

• Sterling Silver

Each guide walks you through the specific alloy and includes the information you need to accurately prepare your own batches.

Depending on the alloy, you’ll learn:

• The exact percentages and metal purities I use

• How to calculate different batch sizes

• How I maintain the proper alloy balance

• How certain alloys can be adjusted for color or hardness

• Important information about how these metals behave at the bench

• Bench notes pages for tracking your own batches and results

You’ll also get my nickel-free 18K white gold formula and my 10% iridium platinum recipe, including how I adjust the iridium percentage depending on the hardness I want.

Instead of purchasing the recipes individually, get my complete collection for $149 and keep all five guides together as a reference at your bench.
