- How to Solder a 22k Gold Bezel to a Gold Back Sheet : Make a Bezel Setting -Soldering a bezel down to a back sheet is something you need to do often in the studio to make a bezel setting, so it pays to know the fastest and easiest methods of jewelry soldering. Although my example is 22k gold, making a bezel setting uses exactly the same jewelry soldering techniques whether goldsmithing or silversmithing. Speeding up the jewelry soldering you do often to make a bezel setting and minimizing your clean up will pay large dividends in your jewelry making practice.
If you want to learn everything about how to solder jewelry like a Rock Star, please consider reading my book,

You're breaking all the rules and making me a *much* better jeweler in the process. Thanks for helping us all to take technique to a new level! 💪
You are so welcome! It is essential to test everything to know what REALLY works. Metalsmiths deserve the best information, not urban legends of the studio. :)
I love her work so much she has help me on my bench a-mini of times 🤗 thanks for sharing🤗
I did a very great job with shouldering Already made basil cup by drilling a hole in them using your method very successful. I used 3/4 MM bezel cop drilled a hole through the middle of it and soldered it to blank . Thanks again for sharing⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It was absolutely my pleasure! So glad it helped. :)
Very informative videos, thank you for taking the time to instruct and upload!
I'm considering working with gold just as a bit of a hobby and your videos I have been studying religiously.
Cheers,
from Canada!
You are very welcome! Working in gold ruins you for anything else, take it from me! :)
Fantastic video really informative they are really a game changer :)
I am so glad you are finding them helpful! :)

I hope you enjoy it! Be sure to reach out with any questions. :)
Great video!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it! :)
@@JewelryArts Very helpful and informative! Thank you! 😊
@@InsanityWon. You are so very welcome! :)
Jeanette, I have your book and love it. Sometimes I just look at the luscious photos! I am wondering: What thickness of gold are your bezel and back sheet? Thanks for the video! It's very clear and concise.
Hi Deanna! I am so glad that you are enjoying my book. :) My bezels are pretty much always 26 gauge. My backsheets are usually 26 gauge, unless I have a specific reason I need it be be thicker, like a large stone on a ring or something like that. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I’m making a bail for a guy at work. I’m training myself on how to work on gold jewelry. Watching videos and training myself is the only way I’ll get through this because I’m too old to go to school. Ha ha ha ha ha.
Don’t worry, gold works very similarly to silver. It really isn’t all that different. 😃
Bigger tip.
I love a big torch tip! :)
@@JewelryArts just the tip?
@@themustachepeople8332 LOL
How can I get the paste Flux you use?
If you reach out to Tevel here, www.jewelryartstools.com/contact
you can order handy flux and any anything else you need. :)
in ur book when you talk about using the solderite boards, ur using the hard one, right?
You can use either one, they both work well. :)
omg ok. i'll try both then, thank you kindly.
@@ipollack100 You are very welcome! :)
Can I solder 22ct comfortably with 18ct solder?
Yes, absolutely. :)
@@JewelryArts So it won't leave a noticeable colour difference due to the difference in carat? Thanks for the reply by the way, you have no idea how handy it is having such a high level professional that I can ask for advice.
@@kellickforge There is a definite color difference. I usually start with 20k soft but when I am at the stage of soldering jumprings on, or a shank to a bezel, I use the 18k soft. I am glad the advise is helpful! :)
@@JewelryArts Ok thanks I'll make note of that
@@kellickforge :)
Where do you get your 20kt or 22kt gold solder from?
We are working on our own but in the meantime, I get mine from Myron Toback here in NYC. :)
Is this place only wholesale? I’m having a difficult time connecting with Tevel to get 22k. Will Myron Toback take hobbies?
Thank you so much for doing this video. Now I would love for you to show how to solder a 22k ring.
@@wendyshaw6985 I know the office is closed for a couple of days but you can email Tevel at allcrafttools@yahoo.com to arrange for your gold or call him (afternoons are best) at 212 279-7077 Myton Toback is fine for solder but I wouldn't buy my 22k gold there, it won't fuse. :)
