How to Solder a Bezel Setting into an Open Ring Band or Shank (WITHOUT Making a Mess!)

How to Solder a Bezel Setting into an Open Ring Band or Shank- Let me show you the most foolproof method I know of soldering a bezel setting into a ring. These bezel setting soldering techniques work exactly the same whether goldsmithing or silversmithing. Additionally, the jewelry soldering techniques I will show you leave you with minimal cleanup, which is always a top priority in any jewelry soldering of a bezel setting or any other gold ring components.

You mentioned maybe not needing to pickle before soldering the opposite side - How do you know if your metal is clean enough to not pickle in between?

[@JewelryArts]

If everything looks quite black and oxidized, then you should pickle. The paste flux tends to keep things pretty clean but you can always pickle if you are in doubt. 😃

What is keeping the bezel in place prior to soldering - friction?

[@pemcot9018]

Yup

[@JewelryArts]

Yes, it is just wedged in place. 😃
