[@LtRee96se]

It would be nice to see a close-up finished view of the product.

[@llesliemarquez]

Could you show us what you do after the pickle and what you should dry it with and polish it :)

[@kellyduncan2273]

Can you tell me where to see your finished product please

[@llesliemarquez]

This video is awesome ! Thank you so much love! 🤍🙌🙌

[@llesliemarquez]

And if you have the item number for the sterling silver wire (beaded) And the item number for solder used for that to pls thank you so much you and your videos have helped me a lot!

[@feedthis]

I’m confused why the video ended mid way?

[@thehautebohemian5753]

I stopped the video at the end, I just didn’t film polishing the rings. You can use a tumbler or Pro-polishing pads from Riogrande.com to give the piece a bright finish.

[@llesliemarquez]

Where did you get that handy to measure the size!

[@wendyjones249]

What was the tool you measured the wire with?

[@thehautebohemian5753]

It’s called a caliper

[@caros8224]

Hi there! I recently bought the same solder you used in this video (from Rio) and I noticed the solder turned silver. I was also working on a gold filled ring. Any advice? Also, thank you your videos!

[@thehautebohemian5753]

Carol Salcedo I haven’t had any issues with the solder turning silver. You can maybe try a higher karat solder to see if there is any difference.

[@claraandriessen8423]

@@thehautebohemian5753 Which was the solder you used?

[@thehautebohemian5753]

Clara Andriessen I use either 8K or 10k gold solder from Riogrande. Solder paste may be a good option if you’re soldering a small area.

[@claraandriessen8423]

@@thehautebohemian5753 is the 8 krt solder leaving a less good matching mark on the ring then the 14 krt does? Do you not consider a ring to be a small part to solder and thus unsuitable for soldering paste? Thanks for sharing your idea's I make earrings with goldfilled wire, if you'd like to look at my idea's for inspiration you're welcome: www.claartje.net

I’ve had such a hard time with gold filled mainly because of fire scale! Any tips on making the whole process better?

[@Itskarli.k]

I’d love to know what tools/products you use!! :)

[@thehautebohemian5753]

Absolutely! I get most my products from Riogrande.com. For this video I used 18ga gold filled wire and 10k gold easy solder. The flux and pickle are also from Rio. I’ve never had any issues with it.

[@thehautebohemian5753]

I usually have a fair amount of fire scale and blackening of the metal. I’d suggest using flux on the whole piece before using any flame. Try to keep the flame to a minimum. I then put the piece in a pickle solution. The hotter the better. Lastly I’ll throw the pieces in a tumbler and they end up very shiny without any fire scale.

[@Itskarli.k]

The Haute Bohemian I’ll definitely be shopping from Rio grande

@@thehautebohemian5753 do you have a list of the tools needed to make tis Project... I would like to learn and practico this... Thankss

[@sosunny233]

What happened? Is there a follow-up video?

[@thehautebohemian5753]

I made this video a couple years ago and don’t know why I ended it like that 🤔. Anyway, I pickled the ring then tumbled for 30 minutes and they came out bright and shiny.

[@jestynecarlos4325]

What’s under your bench block? :)

[@thehautebohemian5753]

Jestyne Carlos Hi! Are you referring to my soldering block? I use an annealing pan to help absorb the heat.

[@llesliemarquez]

Could you give me the items number if the solder and wire (beaded) you used 🥰

[@thehautebohemian5753]

Life with Leslie I don’t have the info off hand. You can do a search for the item at RioGrande.

[@Veronica-ql3hz]

Haha😂 and what happened after the pickle?

[@thehautebohemian5753]

Oh no! I made this video so long ago and never realized it cut out at the end 🤦‍♀️. After the pickle I put them in a tumbler and they came out bright and shiny.

[@karawilliams5389]

was your first attempt successful?

[@thehautebohemian5753]

Yes! I put them in the pickle then used Pro Pad Polishing cloth from Rio Grande. They came out perfect.

[@haileydesmond8075]

is that dead soft or 1/2 hard wire?

[@thehautebohemian5753]

Hailey Desmond I used dead soft in this video.

[@rachelmartin5947]

Do you sell your rings??

[@thehautebohemian5753]

Rachel Martin Yes! You can find all my pieces at Thehautebohemian.etsy.com

[@rachelmartin5947]

Thank you! I’ll look.

[@llesliemarquez]

You should try aquiflux on Amazon! I heard it’s easier to use :)

[@kaylam7958]

ummmm what did it look like ????

[@thehautebohemian5753]

The finished product looks the same as the cover photo for this video.

[@LauraHinckley]

Can you share your rio order number so I can order the same ?
