*A note on soldering
For this project I use hard silver solder throughout. I recommend using hard solder for all of the Cognac Jewellery School projects unless it is absolutely necessary to use medium or easy (soft) solder. However, if you do not feel confident using only hard solder, or if you prefer to work your way from hard to easy (soft) you can do so.
