The main tools for soldering include a soldering iron, a stand for the soldering iron, and solder. You'd likely use other tools such as brushes, picks, heat sinks, solder wick, desoldering irons, etc.
Because a negative feedback system "closes the loop" based on a temperature sensor in the tip of the iron. This makes the temperature of the iron nearly constant whether sitting idle on the stand or being used to solder a massive joint. Without this negative feedback the temperature of the open loop iron would rise significantly when sitting idle on the stand and fall significantly when being used to solder a massive joint.
First of all, solder is metal alloy with a low melting point at 200 to 840 degrees Fahrenheit. A soldering iron is a tool used to metal solder to join two metal objects together. Therefore a stand for an soldering iron would just hold it. They usually have metal springs to hold the iron, obviously with a higher metaling temperature.

Soldering iron, solder, flux
solder and iron
Solder remover is an object or device for removing solder, usually from printed circuit boards. It can be in the form of a copper mesh called solder wick, a separate vacuum device you use alongside a soldering iron, or a desoldering iron. A desoldering iron gets hot like a soldering iron, but the tip is hollow and there is a squeeze bulb mounted on top. So you heat up the solder on the board and then use the bulb to vacuum up the solder and then deposit in a safe place such as a can or ash tray.
A soldering iron should work if it is able to get hot enough and you have the right kind of solder. You need a solder that is made for electetonics. If you have an acid core or one used for plumbing they will not work. The iron will need to produce enough heat to get the item soldered hot enough for the solder to flow and bond.
The key to this is to get the iron really hot. Flux the iron first, then apply solder to the iron. Touch the charm with the solder at the ready. It should bead perfectly. The other key is to work quickly, you don't want to melt your charm.
The iron clamp is an iron ring with a bolt and nut to tighten it. It is used in conjunction with an iron stand and is used to elevate equipment.
Clean and tinned with melted solder
An iron stand is a metal rod attached to a metal base. When an iron stand is used in a laboratory, beakers, Bunsen burners, pipettes, and a variety of other things a scientist may need in his work is placed on the iron stand.
It is an alloy of copper.
