    Hi all, My husband would like me to make him a ring in a dark color
    metal.  He would love something like black gold, but I am not so sure
    about using a surface treatment that will wear off in time.  He wants
    an open work design so there won't be too many recesses to hold any
    kind of applied color.  My best option for him is red gold - it is
    the darkest metal that I can cast in that I can think of, or to go
    ahead and cut grooves into the design that will hold some color. 

    I would like to pick your brains for a good, durable, dark color
    metal.  Any crazy or practical ideas would be appreciated. 

Thanks,
Jill
