    Default what solder to use for 14K gold filled wire

    I see there are two colors available for 14K gold filled wire: pink and yellow. Pink is not so common like yellow is. I have been working with silver wire until now and I was thinking to make stackable rings with 18 ga gold filled wire but I have no idea what solder to use for this. I would appreciate any suggestion. Thank you, Deniss

    Hi,

    I'm interested in hearing others' replies to this. I have tried soldering 14k gold-filled wire, but the results were not so great. I was soldering it onto silver with silver solder. I think I filed the gold off in some places, not sure how robust gold-filled is for soldering...

    Hi,

    Thanks for that. I had thought it was copper in the middle of goldfill wire, now I'm wondering if the pendant I made is brass and silver! Haha, never mind, it was only for me and I like it!
