What is Soldering?
Soldering is a process where a metal alloy, referred to as solder, is heated to its melting point and used to form a fuse between two pieces of metal. Learning to solder is an essential jewelry making skill that can elevate your work and greatly expand your skill set as a jeweler.

What are spinner rings? Spinner rings are a multi-layered ring that allows the outer ring band to spin freely on the inner ring band. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, spinning rings are prized for their therapeutic benefits. The rhythmic motion of spinning the inner band can help promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve focus and concentration. Spinner rings are not just fun to wear, but they can help with fidgeting and anxiety!

Since ancient times, the chain has enjoyed a coveted place in jewelry. It represents eternal love and all the other good stuff about human connection: the eternity of the circle linked, without beginning or end, to other circles. Of course, chains also represent all the bad parts of human connection like oppression, imprisonment and pain: chain gang, chain of fools, ball and chain. As we all know, one can quickly become the other. In short, the chain is a perfect symbol for the paradox that is love. No wonder it’s been around so long—and altered so little. The oldest examples were found in ancient Babylonia (Iraq) in the Biblical city of Ur, where royal tombs hid magnificent gold jewelry dating to about 2500 B.C. Ur was the most powerful city-state in Mesopotamia at that time. Courtesy THE JEWELRY LOUP
