Jewelers Toy Store: Laser Welding Tips and Techniques


Frank McAllister, CEO of a well known Mining company studied the quantity of a jewelry that was made from 950 palladium has surpassed the same for platinum products. He calculated the number of ounces that was used globally for each alloy.

If you will going to use a laser welding to the 950 palladium you need to make sure that it was setup properly. Laser welding's equipment settings and technical procedure might differ to platinum. The three most requested bench tasks that was used for a successful laser welding of 950 palladium products are:

1. Filling voids and pits
2. Minor assembly
3. Ring sizing

Research was conducted to do some testing for them to be able to use the laser welding perfectly specially for a 950 palladium. It is very important that the settings of the laser machine are correct and equipment should be maintain properly to avoid any bad effect for the final outcome. For us to explain clearly, we will going to explain how those bench tasks works.

Filling Voids and Pits

During the casting process with jewelries alloy most often result to voids and pits. By using laser welding you can hit the void several times to open and shape it. The tip of the wire was held in direct contact with the palladium piece, within the void and a pulse of energy melted 950 palladium from the wire into the void. Each void was overfilled with 950 palladium and then filed even with the surface of the ring for finishing. Make sure that when filling voids and pits using a laser you should start by directly to the void. On this way, it will melt the bottom and will expose fresh metal from which to build upon.

Minor Assembly

For minor assembly the most effective way is to tack the parts using a laser welder followed by soldering to complete the process.

Ring Sizing

It is not always safe to resize a palladium using a torch because gemstones are heat sensitive. Because of that we need to set the equipment properly to avoid the metal become brittle.

Experts continuously do some research about the best options for using a laser welder. But, as of now it is much easier to follow those procedures to avoid breaking the metals that you have.

Laser Welder For Sale



Are you looking for a laser welder that is reliable and easy to use? Or, maybe you are looking for a company who can provide you a laser welder and can help you on how to use it?

“Buying a laser welder for us was quite a big step in separating ourselves from others in our town.  We can now offer the latest technology on the market.  Whenever we considered buying a laser welder we searched out several vendors.  But the choice for us was easy.  The machine that you sell is by far, in our opinion, the best laser welder on the market.  Other companies could not compare when it came down to the overall complete packages.  Rosenthal exceeded our expectations tremendously.”  From, Barnes Jewelers Inc.

Laser Welder works as a soldering machine, it can also be used for retipping and fixing jewelry cracks. It can fix any type of jewelry such as titanium, platinum, silver, steel, gold and many more.

Because we are going to use laser that means we are using the energy of light with a very thin light that can be used in a hard to reach areas of jewelry. Because we are using a light energy then that light energy will be converted into a thermal energy and became a concentrated energy. This concentrated energy will produce melting and coalescence on that way jewelry will be melted easily.

To purchase a laser welder you need to choose what’s best for your jewelry business. In Rosenthal, there are two types of laser welder that you can choose from. First one is the Desktop Laser Welder, this laser welder are for lightweight repairs. Because it is lightweight that means it is much easier to transport and to maintain.

Stone to Test Gold


There are lots of ways to test gold. Because gold is also one of the precious stones that we have we need to make sure that you are getting the value of your money.

We all know that a real gold is really expensive. You need to spend thousands of money just to get a small piece of gold. That is why lots of jewelers are using different ways to test gold.

Some of the jewelers use acid, electronic devices and some are using a special stone to test gold.

The stone that are being used to test gold is a dark stone. It is used to test the karat of gold as well as silver and even platinum.

How to use the gold test stone?

To use it you just need to rub the pieces of gold to the stone. If you see a yellow strike on the dark stone that means it is pure gold.

Some jewelers are also using magnet to test gold. They will hold a magnet near the stone and see if it will attract the gold. If it will that means there are other metals that are included on the said stone.

For more information on the tools to test gold, you can visit the website www.JewelersToyStore.com
