I've started making jewellery over the last two months! Here's what I've made so far (and haven't given away to friends yet)
And I'm currently working on a brass butterfly with a carnelian body! Just started it last night
Next step is cutting out the holes in the wings, then a HOLE lot of filing to smooth and round the edges. After that, gonna have to figure out how to mount a stone with prongs, because the stone is too tall for a bezel
Very pretty and detailed, wow!
Thank you! Texturing stuff is my favorite part hahaha
Must be very fun, I'd love to try! What do you use for soldering?
I use an acetylene torch and mostly use brass solder! Workshop pic (it's a friend's setup)
Such a nice workshop! I want to make some glass jewelry pieces but i need to find an alternative to the lead solder that I use for stained glass, that works with copper foil. That's why I was curious. So thanks for answering! And good luck with your projects!
You can get silver solders that melt at different temperatures! It makes it easy to solder multiple times on the same piece
