A friend of mine wanted her "silver" hair clasp converted to a buckle with a loop on one side and a prong on the other. I have had no issues soldering my own bridle loops in the past but I did this weekend on this clasp! I was never able to get my solder hot enough to solder but the clasp certainly got hot enough. I melted a hole through one side! This metal acted very different from the silver I have been using and seemed to have an insanely low melting point. I'm wondering if this piece that was marked "sterling" really is sterling? Any advice? (I'm using a butane torch, and it wasn't even on high heat?) I'm stumped and frustrated by it. :beatup:
