Can any ne advise on:

Do you need to anneal 9ct 2mm wire before making a ring out of it?

Cheers

No idea, but I'd try bending it and anneal when it won't bend any more as with silver, but I've never used gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

Not sure for gold, but i do with silver.

if it's thick i anneal both before and after bending, if it's thin I anneal after bending.

After annealing it does'nt try to move apart during the soldering.

Thanks for your replies. I will let you know!!

If you can bend it like that fine, but it is wise to anneal it before making thefinal saw cut prior to soldering.That way you can close the ends more accurately. Good luck Dennis.
