Volume #3 My First Gold Bracelet

Truing up the rings after soldering by hitting them with the plastic mallet onto the original mandrel, so each ring will be uniform in size and shape.


Post soldering and truing up, they look pretty nice all discolored and and yellowish. They looked pretty much like bras rings at this point, but weighted a bit more.


The rings have been soldered, then pickled (mild acid bath to take off the flux).


Here is the coil of round rings that will be used in the bracelet befor they are cut.


After cutting and cleaning.
