Jewellers saw definitely, but I would probably make it just a smidge too long and use a stone on the ends. You will struggle to get perfect ends just from the saw.The other option is to solder it together just a tad too small. If you then put it vertically on a flat surface and use a wallpaper seam roller on the inside to roll around the inside diameter this will stretch it by tiny amounts until you can drop it in.The only other observation I would make is that you might consider nickel silver. The real thing may tarnish, nickel silver won't.Interestingly this was how nickel silver first became known in the west. The Chinese used it instead of actual silver in inlays in furniture and other items, including decorative thread on embroidered garments, precisely because it looks exactly like silver but doesn't tarnish.Took us a hundred years or more to work out what it was actually made of !Also much cheaper.
