Hiya helpful folks - I'm making a new sterling silver piece, and it's my first brooch - I have a ring lock silver brooch pin/finding from Cookson - haven't decided if to use it yet or not, but if I do not sure how to go about it - I could drill it and the back of the piece and then pin/rivet it to the brooch body, but with my currently very limited tools it could get a little messy...

So I'm wondering if there's a way I could solder it on? - My concern is for the hardness and temper of the pin after this process though - not sure that time in the tumbler will give it enough hardness back to work properly - is it doable somehow by some magikery or other though?


Any advices gratefully received.

Cheers!

Shaun.
