Make a box Braceletssetting for it, and solder the setting onone side of the band, so that one-half ofthe setting will be on the band, the otherhalf standing free. This will cover thejunction of the ends and yet give themetal play, so that it can be slipped overthe hand without difficulty (fig. 91). Theoutside of the bracelet may be hammeredinto a rounded or softly beveled section,. Fig. 91. and the surface afterward decorated withchasing-tools. This work will, of course,be done upon pitch. The inside of thebracelet must be scraped and filed cleanand smooth and rounded, and all rough-nesses removed from every part of thework with the Water of Ayr stone. Itis now ready for whitening, stoning, andpolishing. This done, the stone can beset and the final polishing given.
