Welding on costume jewelry
Typically, it is the cheaper pieces of jewelry that break and then cause
the biggest problems when it comes to repairing them. Costly repairs are usually not worthwhile, especially for costume jewelry.
With the PUK, however, many such repairs can be carried out in a short time and therefore at low cost.
Select welding mode
Most costume jewelry is made of brass, copper or tin alloys and is provided with various galvanic coatings.
Such base metals are often best welded in silver (alloy) mode,
as this setting is generally somewhat gentler.
Staple first
Bring the broken edges as close together as possible and tack the pieces together with a few spot welds first.
Avoid soot
Most costume jewelry alloys produce a lot of soot during welding due to some very low-melting alloy components they contain.
If you want to weld a seam with the PUK, you should regularly brush off the soot produced, as this soot can have a negative effect on the welding result and even prevent stable welding.
Use of welding wire
To reinforce break points in such cases, we recommend using
our Pd/Ag welding wire, which you can obtain from your PUK dealer.
This welding wire is very suitable for many special metals and has a high strength
Result
The weld seam is no longer visible after finishing and polishing.
