    Yes. It's fine silver, so you can solder it. Or you can use Art Clay
    World Oil Paste or PMC3 Homemade Oil Paste to repair, then refire. 

    Regarding cuff bracelets with metal clay, I don't recommend it. I
    would be better to make the cuff from sterling and rivet or solder
    any decorative PMC elements, in my humble opinion.
