Designer's Note: The filigree was easily soldered, although the color of the finish was affected a bit by the heat/chemicals. If you are new to soldering, reserve a few filigrees, jump rings and scrap pieces of glass for practicing.
You might also want to apply a patina to the solder when finished. You can clean the pendant with diluted mild dish soap and a soft cloth. It is fine to get the pendant wet, but it should be dried right away.
See our Basic Jewelry-making Technique Sheet for tips on working with jump rings, and Beaded Head & Eye Pin Technique Sheet for creating nice head-pin loops. To view our jewelry-making technique sheets (PDF files), you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can download it free here.
