Most anyone should be able to braze a silver ingot to a copper rod fluxing with 
baking soda and alcohol.

  An Algaebar is a half-inch round piece of solid copper, about four inches 
long, with a two-inch silver band around the middle.  The two metals interact 
with one another, and produce small amounts of colloidal silver and colloidal 
copper.  They cost about $25 each, but could be made by a silversmith at a much 
lower cost.
