Good morning,

    I agree with Greg on two points, never a stupid question, and if you
    alloy your own his advice is sound. Advantage to buying prealloyed,
    which the cost difference isn't that much, consistent color every
    time, never have to worry if the carat is off, which if you sell a
    product stamped 14k and it turns out to only be 12k, big problems.
    For my wholesale line, I always use the prealloyed grain. Now if you
    want to experiment with color and tones, alloying your own defiantly
    can create some nice colors, and hell, it is more fun in a metal
    junkie kind of way. 

Eric
