Thank you, SKB, very helpful! Could you braze gold in a similar way? I spoke with two local jewelers about attaching a small amount of gold. Both shied away from the project. One said he could weld the gold on with a micro (jewelers) welder, but he said the welds would be too brittle and fragile. Another master jeweler, who also has a welder and has created and repaired lots of jewelry in her career, said she had never done a job like this before and feared I would not be happy with the final outcome. I don't know metallurgy and techniques enough to know if gold could be attached the same?
