Witha pair of smooth, round-nosed pliers bendup the taper twigs into simple scrolls(fig. 90) and connect them with eachother by means of large beads made asbefore described, and flattened with the. Fig. 90. hammer on the square bench stake. Whenthis has been done to both sides, bendthe band round with two pairs of strongpliers into the shape of a flattened avoid marking the metal you mustmake thin copper or brass shields to slipover the jaws of the pliers. When thecurve is perfect, and the ends butt cleanlytogether, take a small jewel, say a chryso-158 prase, an opal, or a garnet. 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).
