Copper rivets - Jewelry Discussion - Ganoksin Orchid Jewelry Forum Community for Jewelers and Metalsmiths

I make bracelets and belt buckles. I recently came up with what seemed like a great idea…failed. I soldered the bullity end of a shell to the end of a copper rivet, so far good. The copper softened too much and bent when riveting. Any thoughts on hardening the copper after solderimg? Thanks, Randy
