Completed soldering project

After 5 weeks of silver jewelry and soldering classes I have finished my stone setting projects...

This is a sterling silver bracelet and earring with Zebra Rock. I just love the colors in these stones.

I just wish I had a before photo to show. I started out with a sheet of Sterling Silver and three stones. I created the walls to hold the stone with fine silver. Once the walls fit the stones I soldered the fine silver to the sterling silver base. Filed off the extra silver and solder on the sides on the pieces. Added/soldered the bracelet and earring part last. Finally, polishing the piece and set the stones.

Here is the side view of the pieces...

I am hoping to add more bracelets and studded earrings to the KML Designs line soon.
