PROJECT 7


7: FILE THE EDGES File a fl at edge across the solder line, using a mitre cutting vice if you have one. The fl at edge just needs to be fl at enough for the bezel cup to sit on.


8: FILE THE BEZEL Take your bezel and gently push it over the cabochon to shape it, or pop it on a round triblet and form it gently as before. File the bottom of the bezel so it is nice and fl at, ready to solder onto the sterling silver sheet.


9: SOLDER & CUT Place the bezel onto the sterling silver sheet, then put fl ux around the inside of the bezel and onto the sheet. Place a few pieces of medium solder against the sheet and the bezel, and gently solder as before. The solder will move from the heat, so using a solder pick move it back against the bezel. Pickle, then saw around the bottom of the bezel so you are left with a bezel cup.


10: SOLDERING


THE RING Place the bezel bottom up onto the soldering board, add some fl ux to centre of the bezel then put the ring onto the fl ux (you may need to use a third hand to keep the ring in place). Place some easy solder on both sides of the ring, and solder as before. If the solder moves push it back with the soldering pick, then when fi nished pickle the ring.


POLISHING 11


THE RING The ring is now ready to be polished! The easiest way is to barrel polish for about half an hour to an hour, but if you do not have a tumbler you can clean the ring up using a micro motor and pendant wheels.
