cor - anything purple or pink tends to float my boat but that is lovely. Thanks.
Hello and a question
- Thread starter PerfectPearls
- Start date
Actually they have worked on the alloys for purple gold and some of them are not so brittle. In fact one former student of Alan's has the patent on severl variations that some of which are malable to a degree. As a metalsmith first then a jeweler, working with these alloys is not beyond me. I just want to be more sure of what alloys are best before investing in the gold to cast all of this. Oh and you can first cast the purple gold then recast another color of gold on top or next to it. I've done that many times so it sounds more and more doable. Darn now I've talked myself into another project.

PerfectPearls,
IMO, also consider what other pieces you're likely to wear at the same time so things "go together" (white with white, yellow with yellow). Do that, and it will be a cleaner look which enhances you and draws attention for the right reasons.
