By the time you are finished you will be excellent at soldering. Also, spend the extra few dollars to work with silver. No point in punishing yourself.
The flux is the problem. That flux is for plumbing solder.
Try this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0058EDGLS/ref=pd_aw_fbt_201_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=45NZ0CDER8WZC90WG4G3
And heat the whole thing slowly and evenly.
I doubt the pencil torch puts out enough heat to solder a heavy ring. I regularly use this for smaller items without too much trouble, sometimes using a pair of them if I need the extra heat. This one is even better in terms of output but again I've used two simultaneously on occasion.
Copper is filthy and really sucks up the heat--you might want to switch to a paste flux like Handy Flux to eat up the oxides that are keeping your solder from flowing.
Your soldering surface is important--you'll have less trouble with something heat-reflective like a Solderite pad or a charcoal block.
