Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ... to the other end. The plate A should first be soldered in position, a lining-plate, B, being soldered inside each half of the bracelet (figs. 99, 100), and a slot filed at C to admit the thumbpiece of the snap. Fix the snapplate carefully in place, rouge it, and tie it with Fig. 99. wire. Scrape the back of the snap-plate and the end of the bracelet which abuts on this; tie binding-wire round the whole bracelet, and solder the back-plate of the snap to the proper half of the band. File the joint clean and smooth, and release the snap by pressing the point of a file or a knife upon the spring-plate through the slot C. The thumbpiece, made of a strip of silver, can now be soldered in position, and the snap is complete. A loop may be soldered on each side for the attachment of the safety-chain if you wish, but it is not absolutely necessary. All the constructive enrichment of the band--as, for instance, a panel of filigree work, foliage, or set stones--should be done before the joint and snap are made, otherwise the bracelet may not snap or close properly. How to Make a Flexible Bracelet.--Make a number of small half-domes out of No. 5 silver. Take a silver wire, about 20 gage, and coil it round a paper-guarded mandrel; anneal it, slip off the coils of wire, and with the saw cut off the loops one by one until you have a good number. Boil the rings clean, and arrange them together (see fig. 101) on a level piece of charcoal. Solder them all together, and solder a half-dome in the middle and a grain in the intersections of the circles. Make a number of these links, say twenty. Make a similar number with groups of three small grains added in the intersections of the circles (fig. 102). These are the ornamental loops to the chain of which the flexible part of the...
