Thank you both. My fears about impossible numbers of different solders and techniques just confirms my fears. Instead of doing it myself, I'll just take it to a jewelry shop I know and trust. The metal is a heavy alloy that stands up to heat and doesn't discolor from it.

I'll let you know how the jeweler works out.

Thanks again,
Phillip
