The Right Solder in the Jewellery Trade
Solders are vitally important in the jewellery trade.
Jewellery often comprises a variety of metal parts that have to be joined together. This is where solders come into play. These alloys have a lower melting point than the metals that form the basis of the jewellery, and they are used when soldering, in order to join the parts securely. In this article you can find out more about the most common solders in the jewellery trade and their use.
1. Silver Solder: The Versatile Choice
Silver solder is a popular choice for soldering silver jewellery. It has a low melting point and is therefore well suited to silver work. With silver solder you can join silver components securely and reliably.
2. Gold Solder: To Match the Jewellery
Gold solder is the ideal choice for soldering gold jewellery. It is available in various karat values, so that it matches your jewellery perfectly. The right choice of gold solder guarantees a permanent join.
3. Platinum Solder: For the Highest Demands
Platinum solder is essential when it comes to soldering platinum or high-karat white gold jewellery. It has a high melting point and is robust, so it can live up to the high standards. But please note: Platinum solder is dearer than the other options.
4. Palladium Solder: An Alternative to Platinum
Palladium solder is often used for palladium jewellery and displays similar properties to platinum. It represents a more cost-effective alternative for high-quality joins.
Make the Right Choice
Selection of the right solder is dependent on the materials in your piece of jewellery, the desired results and the required solder temperatures. Master the right soldering technology to guarantee strong and aesthetically attractive joins.
