SOLDERING LINKS
I slip the ring through the loop soldered on the back on the conchos. Close the ring so that there is no gap. Set the conchos on a fire brick so that the link hangs in free air over the edge of the brick with the joint away from the conchos.
I then cover the conchos with a solder pad. I do not want to heat the pre-polished conchos so I cover them with the solder pad.
I place a drop of liquid flux on the joint and heat it to evaporate the liquid. I then place a small solder chip on the joint.

I use a large tip on my acetylene torch. I heat the link joint from below. I use a solder pick to get the solder to flow across the joint. 
I polish the link with my Foredom.
