I can't see well enough in these pictures to know how you have been joining parts together.
Silver solder works well to join copper, brass, silver, and steel too...
Just make sure you use a BIG bushy flame rather than a fine pointed flame.
You need to heat the entire object before the solder will flow.
I agree with user:'Tiplorance' though, BEAUTIFUL work!

It's always hard to join a tiny thing to a large one. Point the flame at the large part so it gets most of the heat. You can put a heatsink on the small piece -- a metal clip of some sort that dissipates heat.
Those are beautiful pieces.
