I'm a beginner here so please bear with me if this question is rather basic and/or silly!

I want to make some jewellery using brass and I'm wondering what I can use for solder? I've been using Google but the only solder I can find is silver in colour, is there anything I can use that will match the brass?

I use silver solder for brass and copper.

A good joint will leave almost no solder showing, and any that is can simply be filed away and polished.

That's brilliant, thank you so much! I'll just have to make sure the joint is well done and clear. :)
