Hi all--

    I was once cautioned that using paste flux with 14k gold will result
    in a pinkish surface.  Using Batterns (or some other non-paste) flux
    will help eliminate the problem. The copper content of the gold
    being what it is, the heat will tend to bring it up, don't you
    think? 

Good luck.
Carolyn
