Place a few pieces of medium solder between the dome and the star and on a soldering board. Gently heat the piece until the solder flows. If the solder moves, you can push it back with a soldering pick. Put the star drop earrings into the pickle and, once cleaned, repeat it with the rest of the stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Step-5-a.jpg\" alt=\"soldering star drop earrings\" class=\"wp-image-17475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Step-5-a.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Step-5-a-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Step-5-a-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Step-5-b.jpg\" alt=\"soldered starry drop earrings\" class=\"wp-image-17476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Step-5-b.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Step-5-b-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Step-5-b-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s how to make star earrings!
