Su have you melted a few things on purpose yet?
If not then it would be a really really useful thing to do....
Assemble a jump ring like you normally would, squidge a bit of paste solder out
(I normally scoop a bit on a toothpick and apply it in a blob on the join)
lie it on your solder block and heat it until the solder melts...
Then deliberately keep heating,
keep heating until the silver jump ring melts observe the way the silver goes
extra shiny & fluid looking. You'll find soldering a lot easier once you've done that a few times
