@Joel_Walbert Yep. No surface area in contact. Just blobs of bad solder.

I like to give people quality control things to look out for.

Customers who demand better help cut out bottom feeders who are turning jewelry into something disposable instead of something you can pass down. 

 Well since jewelry can an serious investment, thats valuable advice for the potential buyer. And should that ever be me, it will be good to know as I would have likely not even considered it
