Since you used a wire... can you not use small solder pieces and micro weld that to it similar to if you were to just use those with a solder technique? I was just wondering since they are so small maybe that would give some extra reinforcement as well without the use of wire?
You don't want to use solder, which flows (lower melting point than the silver or solid gold). At low wattage, it almost flies off. What you can do is use fine wire (26 or 28 gauge) of the same metal and weld all 3 pieces together. It doesn't flow as smoothly as solder though.
Hi! I am interested in buying both gold and silver chains along with charms but need to know what to look for on your site where the gold will not turn or tarnish? Please advise on what to search on. Thank you!
Search for gold filled - it performs as solid gold. Do not purchase gold plated. 925 silver will tarnish over time or when exposed to toxic chemicals, but can be cleaned easily. See my other video on how to clean permanent bracelet. We also let customers know, when an order comes in and we spot a selected item that is not appropriate for pj. We are very detailed at our office and will spot anomalies in orders.
Those jump rings seem to get smaller every year. LOL.
Good video.

Agreed - LOL!!! I keep dropping them while filming, too. It's hard to avoid sticking my face up close and just filming my the back of my head.
Thanks Dana! That was great, going to try to make some charms into connectors today. :)
Have fun and let us know how it goes!!
Thank you so much !!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!!
