This was a wonderful tutorial. You are a great teacher. I haven’t tried soldering yet, but it is my next skill goal. I will replay this when I’m ready to try it and have all the necessary tools. Thank you so much!
Fabulous! Taking the time to go through the steps rather than fast forward through a process gave me a good idea of just how much time is required and what is too much (in the case of soldering). Now I know how to tweak what I am doing!
Thank you SO much!This was one of the best tutorials I've seen in ages. You got right to the point, you went through step by step, giving reasons for doing each of the steps and I was able to see a project from absolute beginning to end. Wonderful! Thank you again!
If I were to see that ring in a shop, I would buy it! Nice work. I can't wait to try making my own soon. These classes are the absolute best. Thank you!
Good morning I do love all the tutorials that are here from Beaducation however, I am having the hardest time getting my bezels to be flush to the backing no one has a tutorial for what to do then I have wasted so much metal due to this and also is there a guide on what temp each of the different metals burn at and if so where? And a guide to the micro torches needed to get the maximum results for each solder. Thanks
Great video and beautiful ring! Could you slightly anneal the bezel cup before trying to set the stone , to make it a bit softer for forming, or would that destroy the bezel top? Thanks
bls924 That is a great thought, but actually, since you had just soldered on the bezel, it will be technically annealed from that process. You wouldn't need to anneal it again.
Great tutorial! I am just confused about soldering the bezel onto the ring without the two actually touching. Is it a rule of thumb that when you place solder between the mating surfaces, they don't have to touch?
+Laurie Raz-Astrakhan Hi! Yes, you are correct they need to be touching, no gaps. Kate's method uses the tension on the tweezers, to allow the ring band to drop down to the bezel plate backing once the solder flows. I hope this helps! Have a great day!
No not all stones. Any stone with metal in it like Malachite or Lapis will turn black....yep, learned that the hard way!!! Make sure to subscribe to our youtube channel for more jewelry making vids!!! goo.gl/29bmpC
do you have a video n soldering in gold or gold filled rings etc, I just see all soldering in silver would you use silver sold on everything. I'm new to this so I'm very confused Thank you Lorri
Hi Lorri! I'm sorry we do not currently offer any tutorials on soldering gold or gold filled. We would recommending searching RUclips. Or, you can email me and I can help you find a live class in your area. classes@beaducation.com
+Mélissa Navarro Hi there, sorry for the later reply! You absolutely can use copper or gold :) The only concern is getting a solder that has a color match, but if you keep the solder in the inside of the bezel, you won't ever see it once the stone is set.
Hi Paola! We use Sparex, or citric acid as our pickle for cleaning our pieces after soldering. If included links to both products below. Sparex: www.beaducation.com/home/search?qry=sparex Citric Acid Pickle: www.beaducation.com/p/4236-jewelry-making-tools-citric-acid-pickle Have a great day!

I didn’t miss a word or demo. Beautiful
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Your patience and technique it made your video so interested. Great work, for sure I will visit your website. Thank you so much!

You are an amazing instructor! I love all of your videos!
very clear easy to follow instructions.
Thank you so much for such an in-depth class
very helpful, thanks for sharing..
I hate pulling on it, only to have nothing happen too. I try to work on that skill once or twice a week.

does the bezel wire need to be 26 guage? can i go smaller or larger? Having trouble finding 26 guage bezel
most bezel wire comes in 28-30 gauge in thickness. 26 gauge is nice to work with, but you don't have to.
Thank you! Great tutorial! One question. Is there a particular type of paintbrush you used to apply flux?
hi Renee! No as long at you are applying the flux onto cold metal, then no, it doesn't really matter.

Thanks so much! Excellent class! One question: Can all stones be submerged in Liver of Sulfur?

Can I use gold or copper to create the Bezel ? rather than silver ?
+Mélissa Navarro Hi there, sorry for the later reply! You absolutely can use copper or gold :) The only concern is getting a solder that has a color match, but if you keep the solder in the inside of the bezel, you won't ever see it once the stone is set.
Great tutorial.
what is a pickle jar or the cleaning solution you use thank you
