I say you can as long as you use good quality and compatible solder. The initial annealing process should be low heat as well as the actulal repair etc. Since most plating is gold to silver use same karet gold solder. If it is silver plated make sure the alloy or base metal does not melt. Silver can be tricky. I know from experience not to use tin based solder.
