Here is a hinge tip from @endeisjewelry for a video she created for @riogrande
“There’s something so satisfying about creating hinges—adding both function and an edgy touch to these solitaire pendants.
Once I ball one end of my sterling silver wire, I thread the wire and leave an excess of 10mm of wire for the final ball!
My Smith Little Torch from @riogrande ! It makes pinning hinges easy, thanks to its precision and ability to concentrate heat in small areas—perfect for spot soldering and delicate handcrafted jewelry work.”
