    I don't know if this is the problem or not because didn't say
    anything about the bezel wire guage. I have found that for the type
    of project you discribed that I get the best results if I apply my
    heat from below the piece. A tripod stand with a stainless steel
    screen will allow the tourch to be under thw piece and slowly bring
    your heat up, keep it moving, til the solder just flows. Pickle and
    polish and set. 

    Now on soldering Gold to Sterling I have not done but I think the
    technique should still work using the appropriate flux and solder.
