I am new and not allowed to post into that forum. The question was asked, (in "Upcycling") "how were the tongs formed into a bracelet without cracking?". I am a jeweler. To reform the tongs the criminal would only have to heat them up to a dull red glow with a torch. Quench, and it would be annealed, which just means the bonds between silver molecules are loosened. It can then be bent. Subsequent anneallings are done when the material becomes work-hardened, which happens after it is manipulated or hammered more than a certain amount. 3 anneallings would probably be necessary to reform tongs into a bracelet.
