    You solder the two strips to the flat silver . Use hard solder or
    ITP solder. I just made a12 GA. bracelet with 14 GA.. square-wire and
    set stones between the wire .BE AWARE that the wire considerably
    strengthens the silver and makes it Very hard to curve but it can be
    done. It was made for a substantial lady who could carry it . It may
    be easier to form when there is less metal
