Please read this first: All precious metals are sold by weight. Below, you are able to select a desired weight or length of metal to order. If you order by weight, we will convert that weight into a length to cut, based on the average length per troy ounce for the metal form factor you have ordered. We will cut this estimated length and weigh the cut piece. You will be charged for the actual weight of the metal we send you, which may vary slightly from the weight you requested. If you order by length, we will convert that length into an estimated weight in order to provide you with a price estimate during the checkout process. Again, you will be charged for the actual weight of the metal we send you. Market prices of precious metals change daily, Monday through Friday (major holidays excepted) at approximately 10:30 AM Mountain Time. Adding a metal to your shopping bag does not lock the market price in. The market price will be locked in when the checkout process is complete. Different form factors of the same metal can be combined to achieve quantity discounts.

Silver Brazing Alloys (Hard Silver
Solders)
Hard
silver solders require high temperature (1200*+F.) torch brazing.
Most fine jewelry is hard soldered (brazed) with a gas torch.
The # of the solder indicates the percentage of silver in each.
Silver solders with higher #'s are stronger, have less color and require
more heat.

Silver Soldering (brazing) Tips:
A good fit.
Keep it clean.
Lots of clean flux.
Clean the solder too!
Fire it up and do the job quickly.
Heat the big pieces first.
Dim the lights if necessary to "see" the metal's temperature.
The solder follows the heat - use this to help control where it flows.
Finish by bringing the whole area up to temp. to completely flow the solder.
(even some of the pros don't follow this last step and get bad joints!)
