Hans;

    Try a higher melting point silver solder and a lower temp gold, with
    your ring of gold absolutely hard soldered and the shank hard
    soldered then turn the joints away from your heat source and move
    the solder by flow to that point of join. Silver has a need to be at
    almost a uniform temp for the solder to flow quickly, what is
    experience is knowing when to stop the heat.
