What is food grade silver solder. compositions and method of preparation of different solder wires and flux.?

Food grade silver solder is certified free of toxic metals. Typically cadmium is used to improve silver solder's properties, and it is toxic. Look for a NSF approval rather than just "Cadmium Free". One product is Harris Safety-Silv 56. However, I don't think that the 3A standards allow for it's use in food contact applications (gold solders only?). Flux should have been completely cleaned off before the machinery is put in a food processing environment, so I doubt it matters. I don't think there's such a thing as a NSF approved brazing flux.

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.
