Brazing stainless

Pictured below are old school bottle cages. They are somewhat rare and pricey on ebay ($100 for a single, $150 for a double). I'm cheap and I want to fabricate my own, I may make some for sale depending ...

I have access to oxy/acetylene and a tig. I used to restore cars and I make furniture so I am pretty good at the tig. I brazed once about 20 years ago and I am certain the job was average at best. I am more than willing to practice though. Obviously, I would make a jig to hold the wire in place for brazing/welding.

So what do you think, brazing or tig? Any tips or tutorials on brazing stainless? I think I would use silver over copper to have the color "match" or should I use something else? Any input will be greatly appreciated.
