Make a diamond link chain by fusing Argentium Sterling Silver

Many years ago I found some elongated diamond chain by the foot, unfortunately the vendor no longer stocked it and what I could find @$16US/ft was a bit more than I wanted to spend. So the other option is to make it. 1. Start with 18g round Argentium Sterling Silver 2. Make jump rings, in this case mine are 7.5mm 3. Fuse 4. Shape on bezel mandrel into squares, etc. 5. Anneal 6. Stretch/form into elongated diamonds 7. Anneal 8. Roll through mill to 23g or planish 9. Cut through end of link 10. Add a link 11. Fuse 12. Repeat 13. Pickle 14. Tumbler 15. Add clasp
