If you’re going to try this, make sure to use a lead-free solder. You can absorb that stuff through your skin over time if this is something you’re going to wear every day.
Make sure you use silver solder, not the standard lead solder one you probably have around for making electronic gizmos. If you use lead-based solder, the lead will leech into your skill and give you lead poisoning.
Anyone who plays the guitar would know that USED guitar strings are not things you want to touch after taking off a guitar. They are just too yucky to wear around your wrist.
