Default Why did it melt?

I was trying to solder some silver (1mm I think) wire to itself in a simple
filigree type thing using hard solder. I followed all the instructions in
my book yet the wire melted before the solder. I'm using a small butane
hand torch, would that make a difference? If so, I'm going to have to give
up my new hobby!

Charlie.
