When you want to go the extra mile to protect a stone during a soldering repair, use this method from @andreabjewelry -“I used a crucible to not get the paste all over my work surface. The crucible helped with the large stone being cradled. Then I added a sawn off piece of firebrick for extra measure to ensure that heat wouldn’t go to the back of the setting.” She was successful! 🙌🏻 you always take a risk with heat shields, share your experiences with us below! #metalsmithsociety #jewelrymakingtips #jewelryrepair #jewelryrepairs #jewelrytipoftheday
