If you want to cover the end of the tenon completely, you'll have to shorten the tenon by around 1mm and turn down the diameter of the end of the tenon by around 2mm (or more), then turn up a nickel silver ring (with an L cross section) to fit over it tightly and glue it in place.
Another way if you want some of the wood of the tenon to show in between the ring and the bore (so it looks like a Leblanc Opus tenon) is to leave the tenon the full length and turn down the end ring but leaving some wood remaining, then turn up a thick nickel silver ring to fit over it tightly so the top is perfectly flush with the remaining wood at the end of the tenon, then glue it in place.
Do you really need to do this?

Shot in the dark - worn tenons that cause the joints to wiggle. A tenon ring is really the best remedy in that situation.

Another way is to leave the tenon intact (or machine it only to get it cylindrical Then roll from sheet or wire - or otherwise obtain - a sterling silver (or brass) strip of the appropriate thickness, and 3 -5 mm wider than the tenon shoulder. Cut it to the right length to go around the shoulder, plus a little more for a lap joint. Taper the ends of the strip thinner so that they can become a lap joint. Lap them enough so you finish up with a ring that is a firm fit around the shoulder, and silver solder those lapped ends together to make the ring. Clean it up. Force the ring onto the shoulder, and using a burnishing tool, form the excess width down the walls of the shoulder. Use black pigmented epoxy as a filler for a tidier and sealed result.
It has been very successful for me, but as with most instrument repair work, the devil is in the detail, which I have not mentioned.
