    Unhappy red gold

    i recently made some fine bangles for someone in 9ct gold and they have now asked if i can do the same thing in pink or red gold. I dont seem to be able to find any info on where to source the gold and also how to work with it ie soldering etc - any info would be most welcome

    Hiya and welcome, fellow newbie!

    Cookson supply 9ct red gold in sheet and wire from, and the solders to match, you'll find it all on their main website. It can be a little harder to work, for some reason (you'd think the copper content would make it softer, but doesn't seem to be the case) and the solder is a little more yellow than the metal so use sparingly and clean back well before polishing.

    Hope this helps.

    I think it might be the name, unless I'm wrong isn't it usually called Rose gold (because it is a red colour). Might be easier to find!
