I finally got into soldering jewelry and have been looking around a video that would show me everything I need to know to start soldering.
And I could not find it - so I looked around few tutorials on youtube, then decided to order my first soldering iron that did not work.
Then I did more research and stumbled upon soldering iron I talk about in this video. It is super affordable and quality is great! It has temperature control that what I learned is important when making working with metal and soldering.
All these tool and supplies I found on my own, tested and now sharing with you as I think that they are amazing and will make your soldering easy. I think when you start something new it is very important to get a successful result to motivate us to keep going. Fear of starting something new is natural, so it is a mental block that we all face. But if you add on top of it bad tools or materials which will make your attempt unsuccessful the rate of you still sticking to that new idea or hobby is low.
As often we would just think: " Ah, soldering or jewelry making is not for me" but in reality it could be a combo of fear of failing, doing something for the first time and not having a lot of skill at the beginning plus bad equipment. So it is super important to set yourself up for success.
Making jewelry with soldering is a such a cool thing to learn. No one in the world will have the piece that you designed and made.
It is a perfect gif for anyone you love. Imagine giving someone a custom ring made by using their birth stone?
I highly suggest you exploring this craft - as it will bring you a lot of joy and inspiration.
Please be careful when soldering jewelry - thing get really hot. You are also working with flux so you need to work in a mask and be in a well ventilated room.
Wear eye protection as well.
So far I made 6 rings using amethyst stone, malachite, smokey quartz and corals. I am going to be making some necklaces and earrings next. I will definitely film the process. :)
I hope this was helpful and you will start a new awesome hobby soon.
Check out my Etsy stores if you want to see what I make:)
(I have not listed any of my rings yet as I love them so much and do not want to sell - I will be selling once I make more :))

how’d it go? did u ever do try it out?
Phenomenal tutorial! You are very thorough and detailed! I’m so grateful to have found this video. I ordered this machine immediately and I am going to use it with so much confidence. I appreciate you very much!
Awww! Thank you so so much!! 😘♥️♥️♥️ So glad I was able to help!
❤ thank you I appreciate you taking out the time and sharing your experiences. I woke up this morning with soldering on my mind and yours is one of the first videos I came across and it was complete thank you again.
Of course! Thank you for being so sweet! I just made the latest tutorial, and it’s even more in depth♥️ here is a link, if you would like to check it out 🥰 ua-cam.com/video/Z9Nb2rgl6I8/v-deo.html
I bought all supplies you use, so happy I found you! My first project didnt go as planned but I'm determined to be a soldering goddess like you! Thank you for your thorough tutorials, you're an excellent teacher! And I like weird, please continue to make these videos.❤
😭🥰😘♥️♥️♥️♥️Awwwww! I am so happy!! You have made day!! So so so happy I was able to help! The supplies I can stand for! You will be able to do just fine! My first couple of projects were a disaster! Now it’s easy!
I got SO busy with work and did not have my time to post!! But your message really motivated to find time and resume! I will be posting more. Please let me know what would you like me to make a video about? ♥️
Hugs! Eugenia 😘😘
Вы-- отличный пример всем, кто любит мастерство! Ваш урок-- учение с увлеченим!. Умничка!!! С наступающим Новым годом! Удачи ВАМ!
Спасибо бабулечка! ❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful video, thank you! I especially loved the hamburger analogy, lol :)
Lolol thank you!!
This video was so helpful!!! You're personality and accent are adorable. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Awww!! You’re so sweet thank you so so much you’ve made my day!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️♥️
I’m not even interested in soldering or making jewelry but watching that made me wish I was. I do love big, chunky rings and bracelets. I have to come up and see you so we can go downtown together. ❤
♥️yes, absolutely! It will be so much fun!
@@eugeniaedits I’ll find a way to make it happen.
The solder tip would take solder due to oxidation you can use a wet sponge to shock that off also a scrub pad to aid in cleaning. Also when your done using the iron you need to tin the tip to prevent the oxidation
Thank you! Do you suggest using tip tinner to prevent oxidation or covering tip in solder is enough after I am done soldering? Now I know what wet sponge does:) thank you!
Just a ball or solder should work. Tip tinner can help if your trying to get it to take solder again but you need to use the sponge to shock it off then tin with solder. You can get a kitchen wire pan scratch pad and that will help remove oxidation off the tip
Also if you leave the iron on for extended periods of tip will oxidize the tip as well
Awesome! Thank you so much! I will try all the tips next tine I solder ☺️
Wow very nice, where do you find those cool crystals and stones?
I just found your channel last night and I think you’re an amazing teacher. I gave playing with fire a shot about a year ago and gave up. You explain everything soo well. Others just tell you what to do without explanation about why. I’m a need to know girl and no explanation creates a mystery I can’t work around. Anyways, I love your accent, don’t apologize for it. You’re amazing and keep shining ♥️♥️♥️
Awwwww!!!!!! 🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘Thank you!! You have made me tear up lol thank you so much for encouraging and supporting!! So so glad I was a lil help in your soldering journey! I ve been Mia for a month with some work but I m coming back soon! I will be posting more soldering videos in the next week 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻♥️♥️😘😘♥️
Hugs, Eugenia ♥️

✨💖✨thank you ,sweetie. Just keep on keeping on n doing what you do. You put a lot of good energy out into the world.😊👍👏
You mention torch use, are you talking about the small kitchen hand held or the ones with hoses? I use a hand held one. Eventually I'll go to hoses, I'm in my own home not an apartment so going to traditional torches will happen. The hand held torch is a good start. Your rings are fun, one of a kind. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Yes I would be definitely getting a handheld torch but I am breathing up to it!! I have been using soldering iron for about 6 months now, and going to be getting a torch soon. Thank you so much the rings are giant but I love them LOL ❤️ have a lovely day!
so cool your rings!
Thank you!
Hey! I am learning to solder with your videos and they are great! Thank you! It turns out that I am trying to purchase the Flux but Amazon says that it's not available and they don't know if it will ever be available again. I know it's a long shot, but do you have any idea what other flux would be good that delivers to Mexico?
Hi! So happy you like the videos!!! If this Flux is not available on AMZ - here is a link from another site. I have never used this site but looks like they have it available! impresaproducts.com/products/8oz-liquid-zinc-flux-for-stained-glass-soldering-work-glass-repair-and-more-easy-clean-up-made-in-usa?variant=40856714543273¤cy=USD&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAn-2tBhDVARIsAGmStVnzAFARZOGG7CUeoTD_wOzxv6BX__KJ1VDQHkqEHngHCpJqpM-_d1UaApOUEALw_wcB

Ювелиррррррр❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing! I thought I wasn't doing it right but now it's likely I had the incorrect solder and iron! How do you connect the tiny diamonds together on the quartz ring?
Hi Rhea! Thank you so much for your comment ☺️ I am so glad the video was helpful! Connecting a rhinestone is a little bit tricky here’s what I do: I basically melt the base that I am trying to add the tiny rhinestones on. So I would create a pool of solder if that makes sense and then while solder is still in the liquid form I would use pliers and carefully place rhinestones onto that pool of solder. You would have to operate very quickly because solder as you know hardens very fast.
Once solder hardens it acts like glue and keeps rhinestones in place. ☺️ I will be posting more videos on soldering and I will def show how I set tiny stones. ☺️☺️☺️
@@eugeniaedits oh wow yes you must have to be so quick! Thank you for sharing ☺️
Of course!! ♥️♥️🥰🥰
Thanks it’s a brilliant Video and love your work! Can you share where you find your ring bases? Thanks
I am so sorry for some reason I missed your comment! Hi source ring basis from downtown Los Angeles Jewelry district and I buy them wholesale they are available at my Etsy shop now:)
I stumbled upon your video looking for information on a soldering iron that's good for jewelry making. Thank you for making this video! It has helped me make up my mind and I ordered one. You're video was very informative. I love your personality and your unique style of your rings! I have a question... someone asked at what temperature you use to solder jewelry and you said 450 degrees. What I have been reading is 650-700 is best for lead free solder. Is 450 just the best working temperature for this iron? I'm going to be giving this a try soon. Nervous!
You are so sweet! And I am so glad I was helpful! Thank you for encouraging - this means the world to me! So temperature wise you will be able to see at what point its TOO runny / melty for you to work with. 450 to 500 worked for me. I noticed if I up it over 500 it gets too runny. But! Dont be afraid you will see what works best for you but just testing it.
I think if you are working with flat surfaces like stained glass high flowing solder might be a good thing. BUT! If you are trying to work vertically (like I do with most of my rings) I try to keep a solder at a pliable state rather then drippy state. So maybe that is the difference.
Try it and you will be fine! So excited for to start. That iron is my favorite and has been working great for me.
Thank you once again!
Eugenia 😍
@@eugeniaedits That makes sense. Thank you for your reply!
Girl! Your stuff is amazing! I am a self taught crystal artist and I have never wanted a soldering station more! I’ve been using wood burning tools and a 25w weller from Home Depot. Do you still use this iron? Thanks! Xoxo from Wisconsin 😁
OMG! You literally made me cry! ❤️ THANK YOU for being so sweet!! Yes!! This iron is AMAZING! It comes with different tips too! But I am still using the same tip - it does not oxidize if condition it ( if you cover the tip with solder and leave it covered for protection against oxygen). I used to use wood burning tool when I was a kid! I want to get dremel soon! I am so excited for you to start! That soldering iron is amazing and you wont be disappointed. I bought total two, first one (different brand) was awful, but this one is great! Nice to meet you! Thank you so much for your support!!!!
lovely work!! Can you share where to find the ring based? what materials are they made of?
thank you
Hi! I buy them wholesale at fabric district of downtown LA. They are claimed to be silver due to 925 stamp. But I think they are silver plated. I will have them at my etsy shop soon since I have received a lot of questions about them :)
I LOVE YOUR SPIRIT AND TEACHINGS!!! Ty! How do you make the bands I make rings as well but I’m always curious about the band what do you do for the band do you buy bands and then add onto it or do you make your own band??? Thank you so much for the reply I really appreciate it
Awww! Thank you! Yes! I buy them the band and then add solder on it :) The ones are used are said to be 925 silver but I doubt they are 100% silver as solder does get stuck to them. So they might be silver coated. They are also adjustable - so it’s good when it comes to different sizes:)
You are so sweet! Thank you for your comment! You have made my day! 🥰🥰🥰
@@eugeniaedits yay! Ty💜💕🙏🏼have a wonderful day❤️🔥xx
You too!!! 💜💕💕💕
Where do you get the ring bases?
I buy them whole sale thru a jewelry supplier :)
If my jewelry is golden color, wich wire do I need?
Hi Rubi, you would have to use silver solder wire but then use liquid gold leaf to paint silver parts. I am not aware of any gold solder so unfortunately most of soldering is done in silver.
@NEW BLOOMING MOON first, thank you for answering 😊 I don't intend to do big things, I just want to make like good finishes. For example I want to complete closed the ends of my bracelets or collars.
Great video and loved he review! What temperature for soldering do you set the unit for?
Hi! Thank you so much! I am glad I was helpful! I usually keep it around 450 f and it’s enough for the type of solder I use. At 500 and up it solder seems to be more too runny for me. But it might depend on the solder wire you get ☺️
@@eugeniaedits thank you so much. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! 🥰💃🏻
SO...I started soldering but just recently I noticed the foil tape is lifting.....why would this happen? I am taking all the steps needed to ensure it sticks...what am i doing wrong?
Hi Carrie! So this is happening because you might have touched the tape with your fingers a little too much. Or the surface of the stone / material you were attaching tape to had some grease. So I suggest using rubbing alcohol to clean surfaces before attaching a tape.
Another reason could be you might have been repositioning tape too many times and and it lost its adhesion.
Another reason could be that the tape might have not been pressed hard enough to the surface of the stone/ material.
You can fix the existing piece by using a little of E6000 glue and press the tape back it i the stone.
Another solution is to use two parts Apoxy resin - it will create even stronger bond.
I hope this helps! So happy you are experimenting with soldering! You will do great it just takes a little bit of practice♥️
Eugenia ♥️
Hi , I want to make pendants so do I need to purchase all the links that you put on this vid ? And would the pendant change color ? If that make sense.
Hi! :) I will make a separate video on pendants. But you would need a stone you want to turn into a pendant, a soldering iron, flux, copper wire and a jump ring. The links below are for supplies I tried and loved. So you should be just fine with these:)
You Rock... Where can I Buy one of those sick rings.
???
You are so sweet! I will post a couple of them on my Etsy shop soon:) @newbloomingmoon ♥️
what temp. do you solder at?
Hi:) at around 450 f :)
where can i see your jewelry?
Hi :) I am sorry I missed your comment as well! My rings are not posted on my Etsy shop yet. But I will find time to post them and I will let you know when I do :) Thank you so much for leaving a comment and I am so sorry for such a late response!
Not real JEWELRY soldering, C'mon.....that's for circuit boards. You have great personality, you can make the leap, and start properly. We believe in you!
Hahaha! Thank you! It’s not? I am scared of a real torch! So I will graduate to it but for now I am a lil scared! ☺️😂
Those rings are awful and I hope my soldering turns out different
I hope your soldering will turn out different. Would love to see your result!
Heya thank you so much for this tutorial. I have a particular style of design that i have been struggling to understand. Can i share pic of that design with you on Instagram so u can give me some advice if you understand that design.
