gold soldering
Hello all,
I've been asked to mend my father in law's wedding band that he had to have cut off his finger after he broke it. Ouch! It was a clean cut I believe (haven't seen it yet) so I assume the edges should match no problem.
I have jewellery experience, predominantly silver, but I'm very rusty after taking a break for the last year. So I'd like to do the job, but I'm very nervous about getting this wrong. The last thing I want is to melt his wedding ring!
Could I trouble y'all for any advice you can offer, however basic, for doing this straightforward (for most) job? I'm hoping my small handheld blowtorch will be sufficient, as that's all I have access to these days. Should gold be treated much differently than silver? Any special techniques I should bear in mind?
Any advice appreciated. Treat me like a complete beginner.
Thanks lots!
