Jon...

    Need a bit  more information.  Are you  laying the silver over the
    stone or inlaying it into the stone?.  Is the silver heavy or thin? 
     Is it decorative or just flat and straight?  I suspect you would
    have problems getting the two to hold for very long.  If at
    all...the stone and silver surfaces at the meeting points would have
    to be roughed up a great deal to give the glue a purchase. 

    I would recommend you solder posts onto the back of the solder,
    drill holes in the stone and then glue the two together.  Otherwise,
    try grinding channels in the stone and inlaying the silver....if you
    cut the channels properly (undercut the lower portions) you can tap
    the silver in and it will hold mechanically. 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT comcast.net
