Hi,

    I just was making a few jump rings for a bracelet.  Since I am using
    Argentium Sterling Silver, and I know that it can be laser welded, I
    thought I'd try fusing the links, rather than soldering them.  WOW!
    Was that ever easy!  I just closed a few links  (they did NOT meet
    perfectly, so I did not really expect it to work!), put them on my
    soldering board, put a bit of flux on the joint, heated the joint,
    and they flowed beautifully!  So cool! I had to run upstairs, and
    post to you all immediately! 

Gotta get back to work now......
Cindy
