Pickling stones

[Joyce]

I am making a sterling silver ring and the last thing to do is solder tube set stones to the ring, can I pickle the ring once soldered with stones set?

Well Joyce, if the stones will withstand heating, they will most likely withstand pickling as well, provided they are allowed to cool to room temperature first.
This is an interesting question, so do please tell us about the process and widen our database. Dennis.
