Copper bracelets are simple and beautiful pieces of jewelry. Copper jewelry is easy to be broken because of the special character of this metal. Here we will introduce some practical method to repair cooper bracelet at home.
Soldering can not avoid. In order to fix a copper bracelet, you must melt the metal and sand it down. Soldering a bracelet involves an open flame, so be careful when you start to work.
Use a vise clamp to fasten your copper bracelet. If your bracelet has been two pieces, you only need to clamp one. Then use a brush to dab on some flux where you will solder.
Now, you have to fire the copper bracelet with a butane torch on the area you want to repair. When you do this process, you’d better wear a pair of special gloves to prevent your hands from burning. Watch the bracelet until it is melted. Dab solder to the repaired area and wait for it to melt and fill in the crack. Use a pair of needle-nosed pliers to hold it in place.
At this moment, please be careful to hold the bracelet together with the pliers and remove the flame. Try your best to make the integrity of bracelet. Then leave the bracelet alone to cool for a few seconds. At last sand it down with a piece of sandpaper to make it shiny and smooth again.
If you want to renew the beauty of copper bracelet, you can brush some copper patina over the repaired area to completely cover any evidence of repair.
