My fourth book, Chain and Bead Jewelry 20 Simple Solder Projects, will be self-published and printed in the USA, which should release in September 2010. My goal with this fourth book is to illustrate a simplified, safe, and user-friendly technique for soldering metal jump rings and creating large Argentium headpin wires, to be combined with metal and gemstone beads into stunning jewelry designs.
Throughout my first three books, I have illustrated cold-connected beaded chain techniques that do not need any soldering to complete a strong jewelry design. However as the jump ring diameter increases, it is inherently weaker and needs to be soldered to achieve the same level of strength. The soldering of large diameter rings will be the basis for ten jewelry projects in the Spiral chapter.
The second need for a hot torch is to heat Argentium wire to produce a headpin, which I have illustrated with finer 19-gauge wire in my 2nd and 3rd books. In this 4th book, I am taking this concept to a new level by heating larger 16-gauge wire into a larger headpin to be used not just for setting beads, but as a constructional element in a variety of chain designs throughout the ten jewelry projects in the Tear-Loop chapter. Click on any of the images below for a quick preview of 5 out of 20 original jewelry designs illustrated in this informative book.
