What sterling silver to use for soldering jewelry?
Typically one solders sterling silver with silver solders. There is not a solder called "sterling solder." You can choose from an array of silver solders ranging from easy (extra soft) through hard. Soft solders have lower silver content and melt at a lower temperature. Hard solders have higher silver content and flow at higher temperatures. If you are doing multiple solder joints on a single piece of solder you will need to use several grades of solder. However, if you are just creating a single solder joint than it is best to use a soft or medium solder.

I say you can as long as you use good quality and compatible 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.
