All,

    This horse has been ridden into the ground over the years by
    different people on Orchid I can only relate my experience which is
    this I have soldered regular sapphires of every color also pink
    stars blue stars black stars synthetic stars natural stars. All of
    them were set in place. I have retipped, rebuilt, reshanked,
    repronged, repaired bezels, heated to orange mildly heated with NO
    ill effects no customer complaints down the road. So Pleeeeze do not
    recomend people to use soft solder on gold or platinum I may have to
    clean up that mess some day. If in doubt take it out if you feel
    insecure, unsecure. But for the love of God do not use soft solder
    unless you are attempting to fix a mood ring. 

Thanks J
