    Pam....for doing real jewelry work, those cold heat solder things
    are worthless. They can be used to solder small copper wires together
    and maybe copper or brass based costume jewelry findings but not
    silver or gold etc. They can only be used with lead/tin soft solder
    (i.e., solders that flow below 800 deg). I do not recommend you use
    tin/lead solder around any noble metals...it is not only bad form but
    can damage the metals. If you cannot use a propane/oxy 'little torch'
    which is excellent for this type of work, I would advise you to look
    for another method to close you jump rings....such as a blazer butane
    torch. 

    Sorry bout that....cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in
    SOFL where simple elegance IS fine jewelry!
