MATERIALS REQUIRED • Dremel ® 7700 • Dremel ® VersaFlame™ • Dremel SpeedClic™ mandrel SC402 • Dremel SpeedClic™ polishing wheel 423S • Dremel polishing compound 421 • Adjustable shank • X easy solder paste • Cobic zirconia stones 3, 4, 5mm • 2cm round cookie cutter • Firing block • Heat resistant tweezers • Binding wire • Small ball • Precious Metal Clay

DIFFICULTY RATING

STEP 1 STEP 2

STEP 1 Use a 2cm cookie cutter to cut out a circle from a rolled out piece of precious metal clay. Press in the cubic zirconia stones and place the disc over a small ball to form a dome, flatten the back of the dome for soldering. Once completely dry, fire the piece with the Dremel VersaFlame.

TIP

Apply a light coating to anything that will touch the precious metal clay to prevent the clay sticking. STEP 2 Apply a small blob of solder paste to the shank, bind the dome and shank together with wire and use the Dremel VersaFlame to solder the joint.

STEP 3 Use the Dremel 7700 with SpeedClic Mandrel SC402 and SpeedClic Polishing Wheel 423S to polish the ring to a shine.
