Hello,

    I am new to the list and hope I can get some help. I'm not that
    familiar with soldering/torch techniques tho I've taken a few
    classes. 

    Two techniques I'd really really like to learn: 

    Melissa Joy Manning creates these designs using gems and gold or
    silver -- how does one get the loops soldered closed without damaging
    gems? Example of the work I mean here:

    The other technique I have seen used by design company tenthousand
    things, where it is like a headpin created on both sides of the gem.
    Again, how is this acheived without damaging the stones? Example:

    Any insight much appreciated -- any book to recommend for me to
    study to learn some of these types of techniques? 

thanks!
