    I am a contractor for Zales corp and others. I use 14kt hard and
    solder lots of white gold rgs a day. Do not use a hot flame. Let the
    solder melt into the sizing. Do not use easy or medium solder. When
    I fabricate I use only hard solder. I use sandpaper and a brown
    rubber wheel before polishing and all rings are lapped on sides.
    Zales requires all white gold rings that are sized to be Rhodium
    plated.White golg is not WHITE! 

Hope this is helpful.
