Before it is installed, it consists of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head on one end. The end opposite the head is called the buck-tail. The rivet is placed in a pre-drilled hole. Then the tail is deformed so that it expands to about 1.5 times the original shaft diameter and holds the rivet in place. To distinguish between the two ends of the rivet, the original head is called the factory head and the deformed end is called the buck-tail. Rivets can be used in jewelry in a number of ways. A fixed rivet is one that permanently immobilizes the parts joined by tight pressure exerted on the parts between the top and bottom heads. A pivotal rivet does not have a tight fit, but permits the movement of the enclosed parts with the rivet shank acting as a pivot alloing the parts to move. A sliding rivet is one whose shank moves or slides withing a groove. Although the rivet slides, its installation can be permanent. A brad or integral rivet takes its name from the headless nail called a brad. This term was adopted in forging to indicate a rivet type made by shaping the end of a square or round stock bar to the form of a headless rivet, joined structurally to the part from which it projects. Split rivets have a conventional head, but their shank is bifurcated or divided into two or more parts. <a href="/pages/other-techniques"><img src='http://static1.shopify.com/s/files/1/0014/5692/files/Back1.png' alt='' /></a> </div>
