How to fuse Tibetan silver?
I would like to start making jewelry and I have found some nice pieces of Tibetan sliver to work with. What method would be the best and easiest to fuse the pieces together?
Tibetan silver could be anything, mostly it contains barely any silver and might be anything from a copper alloy to an iron core plated with pewter. It could also contain lead or nickel (a metal a lot of people are allergic to).

Generally if it were real silver or at least a copper and silver alloy the method a jeweler would use is to silver solder pieces together. This requires practice and tools (a small propane torch, flux and silver solder). You might be able to use epoxy glue, particularly if you glue several pieces on a single thin backing material cut to fit.
The easiest for you would probably to use jump rings to connect pieces if they don’t need to be connected in a stiff/inflexible manner. You probably will have to drill small holes for the jump rings to go through, not sure you want that.
I guess you could also use leather, woven thread. It really depends what you want to make.Use some imagination.
