Removing Incorrectly Soldered Items

HELP! I have soldered a jump ring on to a PMC pendant but it looks bad.


How do I remove the jump ring?

I have used easy solder (silver solder and flux paste. Any suggestions on how best to attach a bail would be good to?

Don't use solder. Just flux, and heat it.

You might have to use a torch. I have one from Bed and Bath that is a Creme Brulee burner that I use to fire PMC. It will get it hot enough to melt the ring or at least where the ring is attached.

If you can, leave the torch there for a couple of seconds to smooth things out if you aren't melting your project by now.
