Riveted Silver Necklace

17. Wrap a long piece of 20-gauge wire around a wooden dowel multiple times to create jump rings. You will need 20 rings.

18. Cut each ring while still wound around the dowel with a jeweler’s saw. You can cut into the dowel. Use two pairs of needle-nose pliers to line up the seams.

19. Place the rings in the pickle for a few minutes to clean them. Remove from the pickle, rinse and dry.

20. Place the rings on a soldering block and flux the seams. Cut solder into tiny pieces, dip each piece in flux and place one piece on each seam.

21. Using the torch, heat each ring evenly until solder flows, let cool, pickle, rinse and dry.

22. Using the links that you have already created, minus four, open the ends of the links and connect them together with a ring in between each to create two seven-link chains.
