I had the chance to work with the 14KP Easy Cadmium Free Plum Rose Gold Solder that I bought from Bella Findings House.
For those of you who are interested in the product my first comment is that it is still very yellow. The first picture is with the sheet and a yellow gold and rose gold finding.
The second picture is a close up of a jump ring that I felt was my worse one, as far as getting too much solder on the piece and leaving a yellow join. But overall I'm happy with the way the necklace turned out. It is a 'Get me home' travelers necklace. It has the GPS coordinates to my house. My youngest daughter is leaving for three weeks in India in about a week and a half. She is traveling alone and will be volunteering in an underserved hospital. She certainly had my wanderlust and now I understand what I put my mom through. Lol.
Sadly the trip didn't completely happen. I say completely, because she flew out of Atlanta last Saturday, but when she arrived in JFK, Indian customs wouldn't let her board the India Air flight. Between December when she booked her trip and now, the Indian government changed the rules. 2017 she did not need a visa if she was volunteering less than 30 days. Now you need a visa to volunteer 1 day. So my poor child called me in tears at 1030 at night stranded in NY. I got her a flight back home at 6 am the next morning, but she spent a long sleepless night in JFK.
We had trip insurance, and have filed, but no telling if they will actually reimburse anything for the tickets. Expensive learning experience for her. And she had paid for the trip herself, partially from savings and partially from a Go Fund Me that she did.
