Hi again,

    So 3 people said don't worry about leaving it in the pickle, and 1
    person said to resolder it... Does anyone else want to chime in? I
    would really appreciate it. The reason I even think to ask is because
    once I left a silver ring in the pickle for a few days and the bezel
    came unsoldered later as I was setting the stone. Not fun. I'm not
    concerned about the gold so much as whatever may be in the alloy of
    the solder. To be safe I guess I should just cut and resolder, but I
    would like to know the chemistry and physics behind this topic if
    there is an educated party willing share! 

    Feel free to contact me off list if you so desire: 

Kay
