Hi Elaine:

    The epoxy may work well. I thought that if I used epoxy though,
    people might think the jewelry lesser in quality. Am I being
    paranoid about that? Will epoxy hold over the long term? 

    The solder that I have is Solderfast from Rio Grande. It's mostly tin
    and doesn't have any lead in it. I think I should call Rio Grande
    tomorrow and tell them what happened. I thought it would be ok to use
    since the solder will be inside the bead and not seen on the piece
    itself. Thanks for your input. I really want to take a class, but it
    doesn't start until the end of the month.

Thanks
