At a Marshall's parking lot, I found a silver bracelet made of 925 silver. The only problem with it is that on the clasp, there is one chain link welded or soldered to it that connects to the bracelet chain. That link, whose job is to connect the rest of bracelet to the clasp, is broken and looks like letter C as opposed to letter O.
Since this is a low value item anyway (probably $5 worth of silver at most), and I got it for free, I am considering trying to do a DIY repair of it.
My question is, do I have any chance at all to _autogenously_ weld it shut with TIG, maybe something like 10 amps with a sharp .040 tungsten or something like that. It could possibly get me some extra "points" with my spouse.
The size of the link is probably 2-3mm at most.
I am sure that given the size of this link, I could not possibly braze it nicely, but perhaps I can just heat up a tiny area on it and get the area to melt and get a autogeneous weld.
