Special soldering techniques must be used to attach findings such as bezels, bales, and gemstone settings to complete a piece of jewelry. Care must be taken to use enough heat to melt the solder without melting the finding. This live demonstration will feature both typical situations such as attaching a bezel to a backing and more delicate tasks such as attaching a bail and pre-notched heads to a salt casting we made at our February meeting resulting in something similar to the “Big Dipper w/ Arcturus" as shown. The resulting piece will be given to some lucky lady.
Refreshments served; Visitors are always welcome!
