Rose gold tubing?

[silken]

Thanks so much Lesley and Medusa

I'm going to talk to my customer again and she what she'd prefer. It's a shame the 9ct gold red tubing isn't so readily available. In an ideal world, I would have a huge studio and I was alloy all my own metals and draw my own tubing but, well, that's just wishful thinking hehe.

Thanks again and I'll post again when I know what she'd prefer.

Thanks so much

Just another quick question, I have never really used rose/red gold before and I was wondering what solder to you? I've heard that the 'red gold' solder is a bit of a pain and doesn't provide a particularly good colour match. Do you think a little bit of 9ct yellow gold solder would be okay?

It is a poor colour match, but I have some and will put a snippet in the packet with the tube, I think it will be the better choice than yellow.

Lesley, thank you soooooooo much!

You're a star! I'm feeling much less apprehensive about this custom order now.

The solder seam will be hidden underneath the tube setting so hopefully the colour match issues shouldn't be too much of a problem but I will have to see how it looks when I try it out.
