Hi Amy,

    I don't think you should have any trouble, as long as you are
    careful to:

    *  support the Argentium Sterling Silver,
    * use solders with appropriate melting temperatures, such as
    Argentium Sterling solders, or other solders with equivalent
    melt/flow temperatures
    * set up the situation well, with everything fitting for soldering,
    so that it is not necessary to push on the silver while it is hot 
    * allow the silver to cool before moving it.
    * do not quench the silver.

Have fun!
