Hello -

    I am new so please excuse me if I sound a little juvenile when it
    come to this craft. 

    I am a beader and would like to be able to make small objects like
    pendants and cuff links. What I'd like to do is to be able to solder
    the joints, i.e. silver to silver or silver to gold (and vice versa)
    together, but I am so overwhelmed with all kinds of torches out
    there and what I need to have in order to accomplish such minor
    tasks. 

    When I worked with stained glass, I would have a simple soldering
    iron, flux, and the solder to solder the pieces together. Does the
    same principle stay true? 

    I was looking at pencil torch and micro torch as possibilities but I
    don't know which one would be best for what I'd like to accomplish.
    Additionally, what other tools I should have in order to do
    accomplish my objective? 

Thank you all for your help!
Danielle
