Hello all! Was wondering if anyone had any pearls of wisdom - I'm making a dress ring for a customer using 2mm thick flat gold wire which has been melted down from her old 9ct gold jewellery. However, every time I try to solder it (ensuring everything is properly positioned, clean etc) the join is brittle and just snaps. I'm wondering if the metal is simply too thick or whether it's the way the gold has been melted. Any suggestions? :-)
