Hi folks,

    Here I am back again trying to figure ways of using stone without
    needing to set it. 

    I'm wondering if there is a form of gold that has spring qualities
    so that it can be bent repeatedly. I'm working on a new idea for a
    piece of jewelry but it would depend on the gold having longterm
    flexibility. It wouldn't need much flex but would need to avoid
    metal fatigue over the short run. I'd prefer this to have a gold
    content of 14k or higher. Any thoughts?
