HOW IT’S DONE soldering TWO ring together - Tutorial l Gem Collectors

[@robinmorton3463]

My hubby did my ring and I love it he use to be a welder for many years and I don't have to worry about paying high dollar to get my sings soldered together I get mine done for free 😁💗

This was very insightful thank you 😊

Thank you for the video, very cool. I have a question if you don't mind... I know it's possible to take a thin band and solder it on a thicker band, but is it possible to do something like an interior inlay? Like taking a gold band and putting iron around the outside? What is that called and how would I do that?

Lovely work!

Great video and good explanation on how to join two rings. Thank you for sharing. One concern I have to do with safety. You you mention the dust collector so your not breathing the dust but you really should tie back you hair. Long hair and revolving spindles do not mix. I have seen the results of hair being caught in a drill press. Not a pretty sight. That said I must say I do like your videos. Thank you.

Thank you Shawn...that was clearly explained and really interesting. I'm hoping to do something similar to 2 silver Queen Victoria sixpence coin rings...would the soldering be the same process as you have shown us? Many thanks...Tim from Portland, UK

Very interesting.This may sound stupid but is it possible to solder rose gold metal.

RUDY, There are no stupid questions, EVER! That said, Rose gold is soldered just like any other alloy but unless you want a yellow solder line across your rose gold shank, you may want to either purchase rose gold solder for the karat and “hardness” your working with but if you don’t expect to use it much and want to avoid the cost of buying a specific rose gold solder, you can always add a little copper electrical wire (best choice) or a pre 1982 penny to your yellow gold solder. ( since then, pennies are only made from copper clad white metal zinc due to the cost of copper). If it’s 14Kt rose gold your soldering/sizing then using 18kt solder and adding a piece of copper to it, a lot smaller than the 18Kt piece you have cut and then melt them together, will give you a workable hard solder of closer to the Rose Gold color you want. For an easier flow solder start with 14kt Yellow easy solder. Stay away from the harder white gold solders if possible. Hope that helps and thanks for the question! Shawn

Have you ever destroyed a ring thinking it was real diamond but it was stimulated?
