But first, let me tell you what I have been up to lately. For the photo on top, I finally was able to set a few of my chalcedony gemstones. Here is my first wide ring band, hand forged, 1/2 inch wide over 1mm thick ring band with a set peruvian blue or sea foam chalcedony gemstone. It was a challenge getting the bezel to stay on the ring band just right when I was soldering it..NOT easy at least for now.
I have been teaching myself how to set simple round gemstones. Well, since I am a rock fanatic, I need to know more about pointy stones too! So this is one of my first challenges. Here I have created a tube bezel with heavy wall tubing. I bought lots of setting burs and made this ring 5 times before I felt like I finally have it down. The hardest trick for me was learning to solder the shanks on to the sides of the bezel, instead of the bezel being on top of the ring shank. After numerous painful trys..I finally figured it out. I need to recycle a lot of metal..its true. I am now moving on to cushion shape and oval tube settings. Wish me luck.
By the way the trick here is to not have any hard pressure holding the ring shank to the tube bezel and practice!
"London Blue Topaz set in 14 Gold Filled Bezels & Posts"
By the way the trick here is to not have any hard pressure holding the ring shank to the tube bezel and practice!
I have started to seriously work with a bit of gold filled metal now too. Soldering is slightly different with gold filled. It works more like regular gold, but it is very limited in what you create with it. Gold is so expensive right now, that it is almost untouchable for someone who is learning a lot. So, I am practicing with Gold Filled for now. I use boric acid and denatured alcohol with flux to keep firescale from accumulating. I also keep the heat more centralized at the point at which I am working. It does take more time to melt the solder so it seems with gold filled.
Gold filled jewelry is considered lifetime jewelry and it certainly shines up beautifully just like the 14k gold with very little difference at all. I hope to graduate to just gold someday! But for now I am working a few new designs with gold filled and personalized handstamped jewelry ...so please check back!
So now for the giveaway........................
