Ages ago I bought some sterling & copper rivets from Rio; I don’t use them often but I’m running out. They no longer seem to have silver ones at all, and the copper ones are hollow, which I don’t want. I’ve done a little searching online with no luck, any ideas? I can make my own but I’d rather not 
Thanks.
I do a lot of cold connections with very small 18 and 16 gauge rivets. I first ball the end with my pulse arc welder and then peen them a bit. It works well up to about 14 gauge…Rob

I’ve made them, I’d just rather buy some. I’m guessing the welder is faster than using a torch (I just have butane). On the other hand, I don’t use them often, so it’s not like making my own would eat up a lot of time.
1.5mm 3/8"-long solid sterling silver rivets
They have a lot of interesting findings and tools.
