Hi Mary,

    You do not need to use Argentium solder, though you may like the
    color match and tarnish resistance better. You can use regular silver
    solder, but avoid using regular hard, because of the lower melting
    temperature of Argentium Sterling. Think of regular medium as your
    hard for Argentium Sterling, regular easy as medium, etc.
