    Unfortunately there's no PUK or laser welder here. So I was planning
    on drilling a hole in the neckring, but got stumped with the 'solder
    a jump ring' part as I know there'll be oxidation on the neckring for
    cleanup.. 

    I've used, most unsuccessfully, the product called Cool Jule/Jewel.
    Didn't work and lost the stone. Friends weren't successful with it
    either. Is there a product on the market you can put on the end of a
    piece/necklace when you have to 'add on' jumprings, chain, etc and
    need to protect the piece from heat? 

Thanks again,
Liane Redpath Worlund
