Hello, first are you sure about the metal content of both the order and the screwpost? It is massive silver or an alloy? An examination at a jeweler's shop would establish the nature of the metals used, and a "jeweler-creator" (in France we do call like this the jewelers with a workshop able to melt and work on metals and stones), and then try soldering with the appropriate solder mix.
Solder mix is the second and most important problem since there exist various combinations, and the soldering f silver is really specific in products and temperature.
