Jewelry Soldering Class Kit 96 - Rhinestone Chain Bracelet

[@nmastin3667]

Your amazing. I do drag and wear jewelry this size and have been wanting to make my own. It's nice to see someone who does it big size not little stuff.

[@BenjaminBausch]

I feel like Jan could make bank doing drag jewelry and costume jewelry for Vegas. Love her site and tutorials.

Great video! One question, after soldering what can be done to the back to make the settings all one gold color without gold plating? It looks like the metal discolored from the heat and the solder wire does not match the gold. Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

[@Jansjewels]

Hi L A. The finished piece would need to be plated, or you can polish the pieces or if it really discolored you can take some steel wool to it. Once you have it to the original golden color you can use an enamel paint to cover the silver solder. There is another way of making this piece using silver plated settings, silver plated rhinestone chain, 300 degree prefluxed solder and a heat gun instead of a torch. A good example of this is the Swim Suit Connector video kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6vEfZSHh9ariMk

Thank you so much for these tutorials!

Did you fuse it together?

[@Jansjewels]

Hi Cheryl. Thank you for all your comments. When soldering to the rhinestone chain I try not to fuse the chain with unneeded extra solder.

[@danamonee4698]

im having a hard time choosing the right solder wire. i see that you have one that is lead free. wearing this bracelet on your skin is it healthier to use lead free wire? does the lead get into your skin? is tin solder wire safe for your skin?

[@Jansjewels]

The most pressing issue with lead in jewelry is the use of lead in children's jewelry where there exists the possibility of the child putting the jewelry in their mouth. You will be using a small amount of solder when doing a piece and you will occasionally be wearing the piece so you are looking at minimal exposure. The lowest melting temperature we have found for prefluxed lead free solder is 440°F and would be very difficult to use with a heat gun. www.jansjewels.com/20-ft-Lead-Free-Solder-Wire_p_31105.html

mam can I used more then 300 degree melting sodring wire for solder jewelry like 600 degree melting point,and mam what type of clay u used plz tell me

[@Jansjewels]

Hi Jasmin. You can use solder with a 600 degree melting point with brass settings but you will need to use a torch and you should not preset your rhinestones because the higher heat may damage the stones. The clay is Playdough (Play-Doh) which is a non-hardening children's craft clay. I use a rolling pin to provide a flat surface on a ceramic tile. Please see "Soldering Made Easy Video1" for additional information. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3-mdZidht2br7s

Great tutorial. Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@paulabarlowe33]

Jan, I am really enjoying your videos. Have you done any repair or re-purpose work with vintage rhinestone jewelry?

[@Jansjewels]

Hi Paula. Thank you for your comments and question. I will soon be posting a video on how to repair a brooch that has a broken pin.

[@princekishor5127]

Hello mam.......i want to know that how to clean that heat stains.......do you use polish or something.......and if needed then how to polish those stained areas into golden

[@Jansjewels]

Hi Prince. Yes, you can polish the piece to remove some of the discoloration but it is sometimes difficult to remove all of it. You will still have the solder visible. The finished piece would need to be plated to hide all the discoloration and solder. Another way to make this bracelet would be to use silver plate settings and rhinestone chain, 300 degree solder and a heat gun. See Swimwear Connectors for an example kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6vEfZSHh9ariMk

[@krystlecreations9849]

Hi Maam, I have issue with soldering. Is Lead-free Electric solder different than other soldering wire? I tried with a torch and electric iron but my pieces are coming out very figitt. they either break apart or feel very rough scratching the skin.. Can you give me some guidance please.

[@Jansjewels]

Hi Krystle, Without knowing all of the variables it is difficult to answer your question. I have used electric solder before and it worked fine. My best guess is either your solder does not have flux in it or it melts at too high of a temperature for both your iron and torch or possibly you are just not letting the pieces get hot enough for the solder to flow and make a good connection.

[@brigetteleavell-carr6906]

Beautiful!

[@malvinamoya9795]

Hola, por favor alguien podría decirme como se llama esa masa o plastilina que utiliza para sostener las piezas PLEASE

[@Jansjewels]

It is just playdo or any other non-drying craft dough.

[@holypicklesmofo]

[@ELFASHIONISTA]

HELLO JEN !!! WHAT KIND OF WIRE YOU USED FOR THIS PARTICULAR PIECE? - LOVE, B.

[@Jansjewels]

Hi Barbie. For this piece you can use any of the prefluxed solder wire when using a torch. If you are going to have the piece plated, I would recommend using the 450 degree prefluxed solder or the lead free prefluxed solder, since heat is used when plating.
