    Hiya Nick,
    Thank you for a great video, and chain. I love the design and workmanship; very well done. Have I mentioned Argentium silver? Only very slightly more in cost, but you can fuse rather than solder, polishes whiter, stays brighter longer, plus harder due to 940 parts per 1000 rather than 825, plus using Germanium and less copper. I love it.
    Stay safe, Steve.

    That looks like a expensive chain !! I saw the material cost.. and its very affordable. I’ve seen that link before, but not with the hammered texture, that’s make a world of difference. Beautiful old world rustic finish and a shiny polished finish for contrast, o bet a copper link in between the silver ones would also look nice, especially after the copper gets it’s worn appearance. Thanks again for an inspiring video.

Or do you always need that silvery collared treat to solder? I haven't found a decent tutorial on to how soldering copper jewelry. And to be honest I am a bit afraid. Scared to get burned. Already been there... almost being death. Nope not from soldering... from bbq. Anyhow. Please teach me how to solder copper. Not complicated things. But to attach little flowers or hearts on a copper base. I can color my copper with liverstuff. But there are ways to color your copper blueish or green. That I want to learn too. Anyhow lots of questions... sorry about that. I can do wirewrapping and stuff like that.
      Another thing I would love to learn is to put gems in a setting. It seems you can do it with wirewrapping. I have a saw. So I can saw shapes.

I always use silver solder for copper very neat and easy to use a little bit expensive because it’s used for professional jewellery making. The only problem being it will leave a silvery joint on copper. most people deal with this by copperplating over the top to camouflage it. this can be done traditionally with copper sulphate and electricity or an alternative is to use spent pickle that copper has been cleaned in by introducing some steel or wire wool.

      Hi Tamera, Nice and sentimental to make your own rings. Soldering paste is great for small delicate items not so good on larger pieces that take a lot of time heating. stacking and soldering rings into a band is a very effective technique with endless variations on a theme. could also be designed so they look opposite in layout. The only problem I’ve had with rings like this is when soldering say three together they need to be very flat and level with each other so the soldier can run around the joints thoroughly. Iron binding wire is great for this, the rings can be assembled as desired and clamped together with a few twists of wire … good luck with it … Nick
