All 36 pieces of this bracelet will need laser welding. On average 15 mins per piece between welding, grinding, and touch ups. You got it 9 hours of welding and grinding alone. Yep, sigh.

This is what the welding process looks like. A spool of 316L stainless steel fill wire, argon shielding, gas, and a laser beam of light. In the photo is one of the side pieces of the oyster link.




316L fill material is added to rebuild these areas. It may not be pretty but this is exactly what is needed.
