@@moontreeboutique7995 I've created my own pendants by mending together about 5 other techniques. This will finish them off perfectly and add inspiration/technique #6. Really, thank you! Thank you so so much! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Thank you! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
@@AliceNsWonderland @N I Q O L E You made my day! I have a number of other tutorials on my channel too- using the same technique to make ring and such. Take care!
@@moontreeboutique7995 oh, don't worry! I'll be checking THEM out too!!! You're AWESOME! *THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR TALENT WITH ME!* 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
@@moontreeboutique7995 I think I have everything I need to begin! I'm going to watch your tutorials a couple dozen more times, thank you again! I was shocked to see all the soldering available at Hobby Lobby contained lead! I found lead-free at Home Depot, thankfully! On their website they have both but all they had in store was soldering containing lead. That seems crazy in a jewelry department! Am I making more out of it than it needs to be? LOL
I have a weller soldering iron- they are at the hardware store as well as home depot. The type of solding iron is not that important but i would 100% recommend getting a soldering controller so you can adjust the heat. They are about $30 and you can find the one i like best by googling "Rainbow Vari Watt Rheostat Soldering Iron Controller, 120V, Power Controller"
i use a weller soldering iron- but what is most important really is that i have rheostat soldering iron temperature controller. They are about $30 but let you adjust the heat. Being able to adjust the heat is really helpful! Sometimes you want very runny hot solder but sometimes you need more of a blob and you can turn down the heat. Happy crafting!
Hi there, this technique isnt possible with gold tone metals, for a variety of reasons including melting temperature- but electroplating is the most common way soldered jewelry is given a gold finish.
I use an 80 watt soldering iron, made by Weller, that runs at roughly 880 degrees F. Its not a specialized tool, i bought mine on ebay for around $30. Hope thats helpful
i use rose quartz with this technique all the time. Just make sure to let it cool off slowly, if you dunk it in water when it is hot it will crack the stone. Thanks for watching! I have lots of other tutorials too on my page!
Thank you for watching! Great question! A jump ring is a circular piece of metal wire that is often used to connect two components together in jewelry (for instance connecting a chain to a clasp). I suppose it is called a 'jump ring' to differentiate it from a 'finger ring'. I made my own jumbo ones and attach them to pendants so the chain/cord can go through. Sometimes i forget to explain these specialty terms- thank you for the inquiry!
Hi Claire, I see thicker jump rings on the Kyanite pendants early in the video (:20s). Are those also handmade? If so what gauge of Sterling Silver wire or sheet metal are you using? Thank you!
@@dianaestefano9397 You can use sterling wire or sterling plated copper wire- both work great for jump rings. The main think is the gauge of the wire has to be nice and thick so its not flimsy. Thanks for watching
@@cos6718 Please feel free to watch one of the other video on my page that goes into more detail about the solder and soldering process covered there. I use a lead free silver bearing solder, but there are many varieties available on the marker. Thanks!

This solder contains less than .1% silver…it is 99% tin with a small amount of copper. I would love to find a product for soft soldering that has a high percentage of silver, but can you imagine the price tag?! . The one with the highest percentage is Silver gleam, at about 4% silver. I believe it’s also a Canfield product.
Kyanite is not toxic, the only time a mask is required it when it is being cut and polished as the fine fibers can become airborn. When handling it otherwise it is totally safe.
@@moontreeboutique7995 good to know. I was under the impressions it had lead in it. I'm glad it's not as I've been holding back on handling the stuff I have because someone obviously told me an untruth. Thank you. Beautiful work you do.
@@bubblywaters3116 Kyanite is an aluminosilicate mineral, found in aluminium-rich metamorphic pegmatites and sedimentary rock~ no lead at all. Thank you for watching!
Your video is perfect. I have been searching high and low on how to make a 'cap' for some of my jewelry and now I have found it. Thank YOU!!
Thank you SO much for watching! There are lots of other tutorials too on my page, if you ever fancy making your own chains, or rings perhaps!
You’re so knowledgeable!
I appreciate that!
How got do you set your iron? I really like what you use to hold the pendant while you are working with it (wooden clip) what a great idea 🙏🏼🤓💗
Thank you for the very clear tutorial
thank you!
Great tutorial!
Thank you!
This is perfect! Thank you so much!
So glad you enjoyed it!

Love your work i have a question for you how so i soldering looking like gold color
What soldier machine do you use? thanks 😊

Very well explained 👌 i would like to know ho to give gold finish to metal

@@moontreeboutique7995 🥰 thank you
@@moontreeboutique7995 what if we use goldleaf and seal it wid the thin layer of resin is it possible
i have nice deep blue and transperent kynaties around 200 pcs for pendant making.
Wonderful! Go make some pendants
I love this
Thank you so much for watching!
@@moontreeboutique7995 I also have setup for making Pendents in bulk
@@moontreeboutique7995 can you send me the link from where you buying these stuff
Hi, i currently purchase my bulk Kyanite Crystals from Universal Rock Shop at gem shows but they dont have an online store. I would try ebay or etsy.
Can this be done with silver solder and brazing ?
Hi, i am not sure i understand your question. Could you clarify?
What soldering iron do u use… what temp do you solder at
I use an 80 watt soldering iron, made by Weller, that runs at roughly 880 degrees F. Its not a specialized tool, i bought mine on ebay for around $30. Hope thats helpful
Can't you put the polishing cloth in the wash?
Unfortunately not. The polishing compound is saturated in the cloth during manufacturing- so if you wash it is just a plain flannel cloth
What a cool and easy technique! I might actually try this with some rose quartz, do you think the stone will be ok under that kind of heat?
i use rose quartz with this technique all the time. Just make sure to let it cool off slowly, if you dunk it in water when it is hot it will crack the stone. Thanks for watching! I have lots of other tutorials too on my page!

What is the name of the flux that you use?
Lol never-ending! It took me a couple tries but I was able to pause it at the right moment to see the label 😅
@@Spencergirlcomedy I use a liquid flux called Ruby Fluid. I prefer a liquid to a paste personally. Thank you for watching!
hello, can this be made for other kind of crystals?
indeed! This technique works on a variety of gemstones and crystals! Check out my website to see many examples: MoonTreeBoutique.etsy.com
Hi Claire, I see thicker jump rings on the Kyanite pendants early in the video (:20s). Are those also handmade? If so what gauge of Sterling Silver wire or sheet metal are you using? Thank you!
Hello! Thank you for watching! I use 12 gauge wire i buy in bulk spools to make the jump rings, clasps and chains in my jewelry! Happy creating!
lovely jewelry! sorry i didn't understand...the jump ring is strerling silver?
@@dianaestefano9397 You can use sterling wire or sterling plated copper wire- both work great for jump rings. The main think is the gauge of the wire has to be nice and thick so its not flimsy. Thanks for watching
@@moontreeboutique7995 can I solder silver onto copper foil? Or is the solder anti allergenic? 🤔
@@cos6718 Please feel free to watch one of the other video on my page that goes into more detail about the solder and soldering process covered there. I use a lead free silver bearing solder, but there are many varieties available on the marker. Thanks!
Is the jump ring silver plated copper or sterling silver?
Either option works great with this technique, but for these particular designs i make the bail out of triple plated silver over copper in a 16 gauge.
How do i get gold color soldier on my pendant? Thanks

I'd wear a mask and gloves when handling kyanite. Wash your hands after handling.
Kyanite is not toxic, the only time a mask is required it when it is being cut and polished as the fine fibers can become airborn. When handling it otherwise it is totally safe.
