home made silver interconnect cables

I'm planning to make my own interconnect cables and I have on hand 23 awg solid core pure silver wires. The length of the cable I intend to make will be quite short, about 2 feet. I would highly appreciate advise from anyone. My questions are as follows:
1. Since the wires are a bit small, do I use 2 for the signal and another 2 for the ground?
2. Will I get better results if I mix silver with copper wires like 2 silver wires for the signal and 2 copper wires (taken from kimber 4TC) for the ground?

Thank you.

Thank you for the advise everyone. They have been very helpful. What I did was I took out 2 strands from my Kimber 4TC, eached strand replaced by 2 strands of silver cables. My mistake was that I was unable to mark the direction of the cable as Sean and Ken advised because I worked on my cable right after posting the thread because I was excited. It is not finished yet as I still have to solder the rca's.

Nonetheless, there is no need to end this thread. I also have some a few more silver cables to experiment with.
