Hi there,
I'm a newbie to jewellery making and do it mostly as a hobby. I've ordered some very fine (0.5mm) box chain in 18k gold and silver to make some bracelets and earrings I have in mind, which are not really hard as it basically include soldering jumping rings and clasps to the chain ends (after glueing the gemstone.
With the earrings though, I've been finding very challenging to ball up the end of the chain with the torch and as a result, the chain becomes stiff and breaks... I've attached photos of the earrings so you can see what I have in mind.
Someone said that Firescoff Rh would help and I've heard wonders about this product before, what do you guys think?
Thank you very much in advance!
Carol
