Default Eyeglass Frames Re-Soldering Question ?

Hello,

Have a pair of eyeglasses that split in the nose (Bridge area).

They are made from one of those "super bendable" alloys like
possibly Beryllium Copper, or Titanium, or...?

Really don't know what it is made of. These are just a guess.

I think I can re-solder them, but want to use the solder type
that offers the best possibility of holding.
Suggestions ?

Epoxy a better bet ?

Any suggestions and thoughts on this would be most appreciated.


I'd second the query/suggestion regarding whether there's any recourse
from the supplier first and the laser-welding second.

I'm guessing if they are one of these light-weight alloys you'll have
essentially zero luck getting even silver solder to stick.
