Lake Erie Beach Stone Charm Bracelets

I returned from my last visit to an antique show with a handful of glorious old heavy sterling silver chains. This means it's time for some new SToNZ "charm" bracelets.
Process pics show the drilled stones before during and after lining the holes with hand wrought sterling silver tube rivets. Heavy jump rings link the stone charms to the chains and are soldered closed. After some filing, sanding, oxidizing and buffing, they are ready to go!
Oh to wear a whole wristful of these at once.
Yummy.

    Thanks so much!
    Two of the three actually have double chains. :)

    These are so awesome! I'd love to try making some with some black stones I have. What size drill bit and tubing do you use?

    You can use any size bit and just circle it around until the tubing fits.
    Use whatever tubing size you can find. I get mine from Rio Grande. Get the fine silver, as it's softer!
