It's a national brand of oil clay, extra firm type. I'd assume to be similar to Chavant, but perhaps a bit more cheaper in quality.
I'll try to use the thinnest wire gauge I have, it's 1mm, thanks.

You might want to try modeling wax.

It's very hard when cool, and with just your hand you can warm it up and work it like clay. Heated tools, like a scalpel in a candle, can be used to cut, and weld pieces. It will hold a lot of weight before you need armature, and if you want sheets, you can melt it slowly and pour onto a cookie tin or something. When it's hard, it can be carved, and will hold a ton of detail. It's been around forever, Leonardo used it, and if you ever get an urge to try casting, this is what you use for lost casting. Uncast, in a cool spot, it should hold it's form for years. You can even varnish it.

I have toy wax, which should be the same or work very similarly I assume?!
But how does the wax stick to clay?

It might be the same.

I didn't mean use the wax for the crown, I meant future projects. I found it to be a superior medium for small scale figures with high degrees of detail.

I looked up toy wax, it's similar to what I linked:

You might be able to super glue the wax to the clay, or embed metal rods to sink into the clay - and can then be removed if you're going to fire the clay in the oven.
