Last week I wrote about a pair of silver earrings I was making for myself.
Now that the wires are in place it’s time to start soldering. I’ve filed the joint in such a way that they will fit together perfectly and won’t move during the soldering. Once I have them soldered, I leave them to cool and then clean them in the acid.
I’ve cut two lengths of .7mm round silver wire for the ear wire sections.
When I have the wires soldered on I can start filing the edges. I’ve decided to file the step between the silver earring and ear wire so it’s looks seamless. Once I have that done they are ready to be polished and of course worn!
Ta- dah!
