[Jewelry making - Article 00260] - [Orchid] Red gold soldering

    I have been having problems also with soldering a 14k yellow gold
    jump ring to an 18k bezel using 18k yellow paste solder.  When I bend
    it a little the ring stays on but then comes off later.  The surfaces
    have been filed clean and then fluxed on repeated tries.  A friend
    has suggested that I use more solder but now I have been wondering if
    the red gold isn't the problem? 

Any suggestions?
