Making process- The use of Technology

Fire is a necessity in making jewelry. Need to melt the metal, link them together, but sometimes, in exceptional circumstances, there is no use of fire, if you want to connect various metal parts together without using heat, you can use the so-called "cold" Join." (Welding, welding, and firing of silver clay make a warm connection. This time you need to use a cold join. There are many cold joins. Riveting Rivets are a great way to combine layers of material. Riveting is easier and simpler than it sounds. It can be done in any of three readily available materials: wires, gaskets or crimp tubes. When riveting, it is important to select the material based on the size of the metal opening or drill hole. If the hole is too small, the rivets do not fit. If the hole is too large, the rivet slides, collapses, bends or deforms. Neat rivets stay better, preventing components from working apart and adding a professional look to the design. 2. Wireworking Wireworking includes many techniques that connect two pieces of metal together: wrapping, "stitching" and joining. Jewelry makers can expand their cold wire connections, including packaging, knitting, and stitching -Wire-Wrapping For wrapping multiple wires together - Weaving This method uses the same technology as yarn and other fibers, -Wire-Stitching Another technique that has been adapted from fiber art, the line sewing uses some of the same methods used by tailors and tailors to make clothing. Try seams to create hinged and patched designs. 3. GLUE Glue is usually the first method jewelry manufacturers use to connect metal surfaces. The best metal-to-metal connections are produced by adhesives with specific properties: minimum shrinkage, industrial strength adhesion, and gap filling. If you want to use glue as a binder, the best jewelry finish, smoothness. 4. Screws, nuts, and bolts Threaded connections are the easiest jewels for making cold connections. You just drill a suitable hole, insert the hardware, and then tighten the nuts and screws or bolts. There are several types of commercially manufactured micro-hardware among several metals. 5. Fold Folding connections can join two pieces of metal together without welding. Folding can also be riveted off or combined in millions of ways. The combination of microscopic and macroscopic folding provides thousands of ways to fix the metal edges together by tension alone 6. Tabs Tags are often overlooked cold-linked jewelry technology. Think of paper dolls - small rectangular pieces of paper that fold around sleeves or shoulders are labels, and they are great on metal. Tabs can also be bent. Just remove them from the same piece of metal as the rest of the part.

Countersink A countersunk head is a cone-shaped hole cut into a manufactured object, or a cutter used to reduce such holes. A common use is to allow the head of a countersunk bolt, screw or rivet to be flush with the surrounding material surface or below the surface of the surrounding material when placed in the hole
