How to Solder a 22k Gold Bezel to a Gold Back Sheet : Make a Bezel Setting -Soldering a bezel down to a back sheet is something you need to do often in the studio to make a bezel setting, so it pays to know the fastest and easiest methods of jewelry soldering. Although my example is 22k gold, making a bezel setting uses exactly the same jewelry soldering techniques whether goldsmithing or silversmithing. Speeding up the jewelry soldering you do often to make a bezel setting and minimizing your clean up will pay large dividends in your jewelry making practice.

You're breaking all the rules and making me a *much* better jeweler in the process. Thanks for helping us all to take technique to a new level! 💪

You are so welcome! It is essential to test everything to know what REALLY works. Metalsmiths deserve the best information, not urban legends of the studio. :)

Jeanette, I have your book and love it. Sometimes I just look at the luscious photos! I am wondering: What thickness of gold are your bezel and back sheet? Thanks for the video! It's very clear and concise.

@JewelryArts 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Deanna! I am so glad that you are enjoying my book. :) My bezels are pretty much always 26 gauge. My backsheets are usually 26 gauge, unless I have a specific reason I need it be be thicker, like a large stone on a ring or something like that. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

I’m making a bail for a guy at work. I’m training myself on how to work on gold jewelry. Watching videos and training myself is the only way I’ll get through this because I’m too old to go to school. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Don’t worry, gold works very similarly to silver. It really isn’t all that different. 😃

We are working on our own but in the meantime, I get mine from Myron Toback here in NYC. :)

Is this place only wholesale? I’m having a difficult time connecting with Tevel to get 22k. Will Myron Toback take hobbies? Thank you so much for doing this video. Now I would love for you to show how to solder a 22k ring.

@@wendyshaw6985 I know the office is closed for a couple of days but you can email Tevel at allcrafttools@yahoo.com to arrange for your gold or call him (afternoons are best) at 212 279-7077 Myton Toback is fine for solder but I wouldn't buy my 22k gold there, it won't fuse. :)
