We (mostly) all know the tin/lead solders available on the market, but where
can I obtain a "gold" solder suitable for repairing small items of
jewellery?

I get my specialist solders from Walsh's.

You can often buy small quantities from suppliers on ebay. Bit pricier
by weight than trade suppliers, but cheaper in terms of not having to
buy far more than you'll ever need - for example:
