Attaching Posts to Earrings: A Quick Silversmithing Tip

This tutorial shows a quick and easy method to attach posts to the backs of earrings using hard silver solder. No need to buy pre-made posts. I just use 20 gauge wire, and solder them on with this easy method. This is a great metalsmithing tip that will save you money, materials, and will produce a superior outcome.
