Hi Barbara,

    If you can ensure that they touch then go ahead and solder. The size
    of the fillet will, or course, depend on the amount of solder you8
    apply. As the solder melts, capillary attraction will try to
    minimise the surface area of the solder which can cause small,
    lightweight, items to move a little. It also tends to pull the items
    together slightly. The only way you'll gain experience is to, little
    by little, push your own barriers. Trying something new, especially
    on something valuable (either in terms of money or time invested), is
    scary, but there's a first time for everything. 

Regards, Gary Wooding
