    AJM ran an article on this subject in June 1999, with both how-to
    information and the results of experimentation with a number of gold
    alloys, including 10k white, 14k white and 14k palladium white. (This
    may be the chart Beth remembered?) Jewelry artist Sara Sanford, who
    conducted the experiment, reported that these alloys simply did not
    reticulate, and that attempts to do so produced pitting and
    discoloration. Of course, a single experiment is not definitive: your
    results may differ.  If you're interested in reading the entire
    article, you can order a copy from MJSA at (800) 444-6572, or online
    at http://www.ajm-magazine.com (search the article index for
    "reticulation".) There is a fee for non-MJSA members.
