Question from Hadassah D.
Hi, I make jewelry with wire and also use 14 karat gold FILLED jump rings and silver too. I want to take a soldering class to enable me to buy a simple soldering tool that I can use in my NYC apartment. I want to solder Jump rings. This appears to be the correct class for me do you agree? Please advise and thank you in advance. Hadassah Diaz
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse Staff
Hi Hadassah! Yes, this class will teach you how to solder jump rings. If you are working in gold, you should also get some gold solder. Hope this helps!
