Retipping a V shaped claw on a marquise sapphire in 18ct yellow gold using the Lampert PUK 3 Professional Plus welder on Standard 7ms 30% power. I welded gold on top first and built up down the sides to make it strong. I had done the same to the emerald and ruby in the same ring without marking them (with care).

I don't weld brass so I don't buy the wire but I googled it and there seem plenty of places on the internet where you can buy it, eBay seem to have some sellers who have thin brass wire for sale

pichowna I do a lot of retipping so I got organised and made a range of widths of both flat wire and d shaped wire. I have these in all the metals, which is alot to maintain but it's worth it as it allows me to work quickly.

tribletman thank you for the quick reply! Now I have another question!! What ct do you use or it depends on the ct of the piece you are working?

pichowna I always use the same as what the item is made of. I have lots of different widths of wire in 9Y, 9W, 18Y, 18W, platinum and the most popular widths of 14Y, 14W and silver. I pull them all down myself. The thin feeder wire used for building up, I used to pull down myself also but it was a pain to anneal such thin wire so these days I buy it from a local billion supplier (0.25mm).
