[TheForge] repairing silver

I know it is not a material we usually use, but wondering - - -

My son has a couple of inexpensive silver chains from which the clasps broke
off. Can these be soldered (silver solder) or is the heat requirement too
high for an ordinary soldering iron? Will the plumbing version of "silver
solder" actually hold silver?

Thanks!
