Everything I wish I would have known before learning how to solder jewelry! I made so many mistakes when it came to soldering and melted more silver that I would like to admit! I hope these soldering tips can help your jewelry making journey! You can also visit my Amazon storefront below to shop a lot of the soldering equipment I talk about and use in this video. I do make a small commission off of purchases made through this link at no cost to you!

  • The growth of your channel is incredible, we are already more than three hundred. When I signed up there were less than a hundred of us, and that was just two weeks ago. Surely your channel will reach incredible brands and in a short time. Congratulations.

  • Thanks! This is useful. I do wirewraps and have been avoiding soldering because it felt scary. But now that I want to wirewrap a more complicated work, I do think soldering will come in handy!

  • Use hard solder if possible and use solder strip. Clean the strip every time you use it to clean the oxidation off. It's very hard to clean the chips.

    • I get it, that can be so frustrating, just keep pushing through it! 💜 maybe it could be more of a flame issue or a joint issue? Is your joint super super flush? Are you heating your entire piece and then directing your flame to your joint? Try putting your solder chip under your piece and under the joint and heat from the top 🙏🏻

  • hi i only use hard solder throughout the piece and use the torch very carefully, takes a bit of getting used to but persevere saves a great deal of messing around, if for some reason you have to leave the bench and your working on something and you have a memory like mine as in did i use medium or easy solder or even hard solder use one solder throughout no bother, still say its your lighting 🤣🤣🤣, take care keep well keep safe.

    • Lol that’s true! Sometimes it’s hard to remember what you issued 😂🙈💜 the thing I like about jewelry making is there isn’t really a “right” way that you have to do something, if it works for you than it works and keep on doing it! 🎉🥰💜

  • Soldering paste comes in different levels as well. What level soldering paste do you start out with when you’re very first learning. And can you use soldering paste on brass components as I wouldn’t wanna practice on Sterling or gold? Thank you so much for this video. Your tips have been very helpful. 😊

    • I’m so glad I can help!! 🥹💜 I used easy solder paste at first! And when I was practicing on brass I used the silver solder paste and it works just fine BUT, they do make solder paste for brass! 😊

  • Her tip If you bezel not right size use a ring Manderl forge it with with gold smithing hammer. Also if you are using solder chip u can make it thin by anelling it with torch then put in rolling mill to make thin has paper. N

  • what should you do when your trying to solder the bezel strip onto the plate, but the solder rises to the bezel strip instead of the plate?

    @user-ku9gg2wj3d@user-ku9gg2wj3dАй бұрын
    • When you’re making bezel cups heat from below and not the top. If you remember, “solder follows your flame” it will almost always help you figure out what to do differently. 🙏🏻💜 I always heat from the bottom using my grate. Heat the bottom for 90-95%of the time and then when it gets super red and ready, bring your flame to the top of your piece and it will all melt 💜

    • Some people use silver solder when soldering bronze and that’s ok! So solder can be interchangeable at times but you do generally want to use solder in whatever metal you’re working with. 💜
