Hello all! I've been interested in getting into jewelry making and have been looking at a lot of pieces trying to break down how everything is made/put together. Forgive me if it's a noob question, but I'm curious if you guys can possibly share how these pieces are made? I'm a little bit lost as to how the gold pieces are sticking onto the pearls and stones and how they're combining all the different pieces together. Is it all just a matter of gluing? Is this method reliable especially when working with such expensive precious metals? Would also appreciate if anyone can point me to any books or videos sharing techniques for this. Thanks :)
