A soldering iron is not suitable for soldering sterling silver. You must use a gas torch to get the right temperature.

Medium Quality Silver Solder Cadmium free solder available in your choice of sheet or wire. Both forms melt at 691°C (1275°F). Excellent for mid-stage soldering of a complex part with many connections. For use with Sterling Silver, Argentium® Sterling Silver and Fine Silver.
A small piece of solder is placed on the joint and heated to its pour point, resulting in a strong bond between the pieces as it cools. Many metals used in jewelry making can be soldered including sterling silver, fine silver, brass, copper, gold and gold filled.
You can use a soldering iron to do many jewelry repairs. A soldering iron is a tool for heating solder, a metal-based substance used to join two or more metal components. Soldering irons are commonly used in various creative pursuits such as B. jewelry making, metalsmithing and glass painting.
Clean and degrease the metal to be soldered with files and emery or wet and dry paper. Make sure the metal to be soldered fits together as closely as possible (you shouldn’t be able to see through the joint). Apply flux to the joint and gently heat to dry. Apply small dabs (pieces) of silver solder along the joint.
Silver solder typically refers to a stronger solder used for mechanical connections (compared to lead solder, which is soft and relatively weak). However, silver solder has a higher melting temperature, which means the parts must be heated to a higher temperature for it to work.
Silver solder is used with a flux that chemically cleans the metal and keeps it clean during the silver soldering process. Silver solder is also known as silver solder.
This isn’t just about silver or gold, you also need to match the karat and color. For an 18k yellow gold ring, you should get 18k yellow gold solder together. Using lower karat solder (or electric solder) will contaminate the precious metal and reduce its purity.
