More on Eutectic Solder
Here's a picture of one of the pieces I used eutectic solder on. In the blue area you can see where the solder discolored the enamel a little. I'm thinking the solution is to depletion guild the joint. However, I really like the results I'm getting using the eutectic solder and setting stones :) Keep Creating

Tried My Hand at Eutectic Solder
I currently have 2 pieces that I'm working on using eutectic solder. I have found that it is not at all hard to fire to create a joint and when you go to add the enamel, it stays solid (pretty cool!). I am using regular liquid flux and fine silver components. I did run into some trouble with oxidation and the solder discoloring the enamel. Does anyone have any tips for curing this in the future? Keep Creating ;)
