    This would be quit the project. you would have to make each
    nugget and solder it to the case but i can see where this is very
    possible as you can make nuggets with a charcoal block and a
    carbon rod and push the metal around when it is at that clumpie
    temp.  Very time consuming but possible. It may look a
    little strange also but possible. I have worked at some shops
    that do the nugget watch cases and bands and have also done
    remounts where the customer wanted a nugget  made from the
    left over gold so just heat it up to that stage when you can to
    move the metal in clumps (small Clumps). The ones for the watch
    case will be much smaller but it should work... 

    If it were me i would say ok but with the understanding it would
    be costly and at their own risk. 

    Hope this helps.. JB 

    Ps. this is the stuff that makes what we all do fun...
