    I am enamelling some pieces in 18ct white gold (to be set in a white
    gold collar). The problem is the client really likes the slightly
    wrinkled textured effect of using silver foil under the enamel, but
    prefers the more muted steel colour of 18ct white to the brasher
    pure silver. I assume one cannot get white gold foil as gold foil is
    24 carat. Am I wrong? Otherwise, I can think only of either acid
    etching the surface or reticulation, both of which are a bit too
    unpredictable for such expensive materials. There are 5 pieces which
    are not small & 4 of which need to be matching pairs; so cost
    prohibits any experimental tries! Does any out in wonderful Orchid
    land have any suggestions? 

many thanks, 
Deborah Miller
