Bring some examples to the SMM meeting, Aimee - I would love to see the construction method and get "hands on" - beautiful!

<p>That is good to know Kimberly...Thanks!;)</p>
<p>Catherine...I did actually start out making them with a ball at one end and wrapping the other end...but they looked messy and unprofessional...so I decided soldering them would be better. But balling the other end is a good idea as well.</p>
<p>Thanks!! </p>

And I heard recently from Judy Stone that only after the 2nd or third firing will the join be weakened to the point of falling apart, so it's best to really think through your project, keep the firing to a maximum of 2 per piece and you should be fine. With the blossoms on your necklace there if you could join them with a balled rivet instead of solder it would be even better. Last, perhaps the temperature could be 1400 tops.

It's my understanding that if if you've soldered a piece, the "reflow" temperature of the solder will be higher than the solder's original melting temperature. I'm not sure if that explains your success or not but anyway, your enameling is gorgeous!
