    Sorry for the delayed response to your question. I do have a source
    for stainless steel, Small Parts 1-800-220-4242. They have a web
    sight as well www.smallparts.com . It has been about seven years
    since I did my research but I remember something about 316L being the
    surgical kind. Small Parts has 316V. I don't know how they compare. I
    have been told that heating it up may change the properties of the
    metal. You  may try to design around the soldering issue by using a
    cold connection. I ended up using 14k gold for my navel ring. I have
    had no problems but then I don't even have an allergy to icky nickel
    silver (I have only used that for bracelets and neck pieces). Please
    let me know if you would like me to dig further for the metal (my
    brother did find some 316L). Please feel free to contact me off line. 

Hope this helps
