How to Solder 14K Gold Wire for Jewelry: A Professional Guide


Question
to join ends of flat wire 14k gold for a ring what is the best technique?

Answer
Greetings,

ensure that both ends are clean and flat.
Spring them against each other and then cut through the joint with a fine piercing saw.....this will guarantee that you have a clean joint.
Apply flux and heat evenly...solder will melt at mid red heat.

This will give you the strongest and cleanest joint.
