smile do not say it loud anymore, anywhere.

It is industry standard and mandatory rule worldwide since begining of hallmarking (so well over 100 years) that silver has to be soldered with silver, gold with gold with purity as close as possible to base metal. NOT with tin or something alike. There is only exception when you can use not silver - only when you are attaching something that has very low melting temp, for example attaching part with enamel.
