Protecting your stone from 🔥 thank you Sharon of @dreamsmith.jewelry for this one! “When I need to solder piece of jewelry with a gemstone, I make sure to keep the stone from being damaged by the flame 🔥

Here, for example, the stone in a saucer of water.
Additionally, I direct the flame upwards, away from the stone.” Anytime you are soldering with a gemstone proceed with caution! These techniques are not bullet proof! 😄 #solderingaring #solderingaringshank #repairwork #jewelryrepair #sizingaring #jeweler #makingjewelry
