[Jewelry making - Article 00334] - [Orchid] Soldering Gold-Filled Jumprings

    Can one successfully solder gold-filled jumprings? I have been
    unsuccessful with my attempts because the torch bring up bits of the
    base metal turning the whole thing greenish. If it can be done
    please share any advice you may have. I have seen soldered closed
    jumpring in Rio catalogs - perhaps these were done with that
    electric thing-a-majig/jumpring closer instead of a regular torch? 

Thanks in advance!
