    Thank you to Beth, Erskine, Richard, Lora and Phyllis for your
    replies to my post. It is nice to feel that we do indeed have a
    Metalsmithing community among us. I say this because I tried asking
    this question (during a workshop) to a prominent jeweler who uses
    this technique. The answer would not be revealed! 

    I have not tried Argentium Sterling Silver. That is an interesting
    idea. I am not certain that I can post pictures to this forum, but
    have attached some as good examples of what I am talking about. I do
    not think glue was used or extra solder used to attach balls to the
    ends. 

    Please, please, please let me know what you all think. These are the
    things that make me stay up at night. I am sure my cats will thank
    you if I am able to turn the lights off! 

Best,

Wendy Hacker
