I have done the same thing in the past with no problems.
Lee, always put the solder on the smallest piece when soldering layers this way. I would add solder to the gold piece first as it will give you a better solder finish and not flood all over the surface of the silver.

So when the solder is melted onto the gold will it not fall off when i turn the gold over to stick it down?
Sorry if these are real stupid questions.

Lee, if you have not done this before, don't risk spoiling your gold, which is expensive, before practicing with something cheap like copper.
