    not unless you want to use a solder that flows at below 800 degrees
    F.. some ez flow solders and radio shack type silver bearing pastes
    do it, but they turn from silver to grey easily as the silver leaches
    out..or reacts with chemicals in skin,cosmetics, etc. Tix solder
    claims to stay silver and has incredible tensegrity but its been so
    long since i've seen the stuff i don't remember at what temp it
    flows..better use a good hard solder from a reliable /consistent
    producer like hoover and strong, handy and harman, DHFell, or one of
    the myriad others.. if you want a paste you might try
    myuniquesolutions.com products. the pastes come in a range of
    flow/hardness options and are great for large quantities of jump
    rings soldered en masse.. production line style.
