Make bracelets of twisted wire with domes.  This is a fun way to make bracelets that are very decorative and interesting.

First make bracelets wires

Using 14 gauge copper wire cut three 15 inch lengths of wire.

Hold 3 inches of the ends in the jaws of the table vise. Clamp 3 inches of the other loose ends in the jaws of the hand vise. Hold taut and give the hand vise twenty-four full turns.

Make a flat wire coil on each wire end. Cut the 1/4 inch holding end even with the coil. Raise the center of the coil on a lead block with a dapping die punch and tin the raised center.

Next make bracelets domes

Using 24 gauge silver sheet cut and dome six 3/8 inch disks.

File the base of the domes even.

Tin the inside of the domes.

Flux the tinned surface of the domes and coils.

Lay one of the coil ends on the screen and hot plate.

Place a dome on each coil and solder together.

Repeat the above process on the other end.

Hold the head of a wooden mallet in the jaws of the table vise.

Bend the twisted wire length around the mallet to make bracelets form.

Shape to fit the arm. Curve one end with round nose pliers. 

Bend the other end. The coils must lie flat on the arm.

Next make bracelets silver wrap

Using 22 gauge silver wire cut three 15 inch lengths.

Wind a wire in the first groove of the twist. Leave one inch of the wire free on each end.

Coil the silver wire in every third groove between the copper wires.

Pull the wire tight during the coiling process. Repeat the above with the other wire lengths.
 
Coil the loose ends.

Solder the coils on the back under the domes.

Smooth any rough surfaces with a file and emery cloth.

Rub the domes with fine pumice powder to remove scratches.

Polish with metal polish. Finish with chamois skin.

Lacquer the twisted wire to make bracelets shine.
