I have drawn up a silver and copper bracelet project (and I do apologize for my drafting skills). I am a fan of a lot of David Yurman pieces, especially the wire bracelets. What caught my attention are ends/caps/boxes on his stuff. So with this project I want to develop or learn how to make finished ends for the look and the purpose of soldering the pieces together. I am not sure how to give this bracelet nice ends? Tiny boxes would seem awfully hard to form? some kind of wrapped and soldered ends? I would appreciate any suggestion or customary ways to cap off the end of a piece as I have drawn up. Thank you, Brad

In thinking further, I can think of one method perhaps. I have made many a number bezel mounts for stones with silver and copper. Perhaps I can wrap a 1/4" or so piece of silver around each end to get shape and length, then solder band together, then solder the band onto a small square of silver, then file away excess of the base, just like making a bezel mount? then solder that cap onto the end of the bracelet pieces. Are there other ways I might try? brad
