The jump ring will get hot enough by just being there.\u00a0 If you put the flame on the jump ring, it\u00a0being smaller, it will be hotter than the bezel so the solder \u00a0(which always goes towards the most heat) will run onto the\u00a0jump ring\u00a0and not attach to the bezel.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sure all students have had that happen to them!\u00a0 We will talk more about soldering another day.\u00a0 I hope everyone will join us at our annual show of staff work\u00a0Saturday and Sunday\u00a0Nov 13th and 14th.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jewelryartsinstitute.com\/annualexibitionandsale.html\">Click for details here.\u00a0<\/a> Here is to Kate and a job well done!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Congratulations to our latest Student of the Week- Kate Sheehan.\u00a0\u00a0 These earrings are beautiful but Kate struggled with the jump rings quite a bit.\u00a0 I thought I would give some tips on jump rings because they are a common stumbling block for students. \u00a0 First of all, it is important to consider your jump rings [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/jewelryartsinstitute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/jewelryartsinstitute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/jewelryartsinstitute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/jewelryartsinstitute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/149"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/jewelryartsinstitute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/jewelryartsinstitute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":110,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/jewelryartsinstitute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105\/revisions\/110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/jewelryartsinstitute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/jewelryartsinstitute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userblogs.ganoksin.com\/jewelryartsinstitute\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
