Starting with gold
Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and new to gold
I usually work in sterling silver and have a commission for a gold wedding ring in 14k yellow gold. Pretty much looking to find out is there anything I should really really know before I start? How different is it to work from silver? I get the impression I heat the solder as opposed to the metal? I'm making a simple band out of sheet and texturing it with a hammer, when I do it in silver the ring stretches a fair bit on the mandrel as I hammer. Does 14k gold stretch the same sort of amount? or softer? harder?
