My wife has a much loved pair of earrings on which the post of one has broken off. Replacing normally would be no problem, but the design is the problem. The post is soldered to a small flat area just adjacent to and a part of a lattice of silver which has tiny semi precious stones embedded in it. I am sure the heat involved to silver solder would ruin the structure. I can’t see how to heat protect the lattice in any way. Thus I thought of TIX solder that I use for clock repairs. I can’t find any definitive advice on its allergy risk. Other alternative is to drill out the base of the post inserting a wire and epoxy resin glue the back of this new post. This wouldn’t be seen as there is a gap between the post plate and the lattice...like a pocket. Advice please.
