    I would go with a 22k and sterling combo. 24k is tough to work with
    because it just too soft. One other option is to get some PureGold
    tm which is .9985 gold with small amounts of alloying metals it is
    harder than fine gold and can be heat treated in a kiln to make it
    as hard as 18k
