Soldering & Joining

What are Soldering & Joining? How are they used in jewelry making?

At Katway, we offer a range of high quality soldering and joining tools that are essential for any jeweller. But what exactly is soldering and joining? Soldering is a process in which two pieces of metal are fused together by melting a filler material, known as solder. This technique creates a strong, seamless bond between metal parts, which is vital when designing beautiful, durable pieces such as rings, earrings or intricate bracelets. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional, having the right soldering tools is key to perfecting your jewellery craft.

Then, use the metal forming tools we offer, such as mills and ring expanders, to form the metal into the desired shape. These tools help you to easily complete the entire process from initial cutting to final shaping, and are also a must-have for your permanent jewelry making!
