    As a wholesaler of designer wedding bands I am casting at least 80%
    white metal (mostly 14k), with the yellow pretty even between 14k
    and 18k, but some of the other people I am casting for seem to be
    doing a decent amount of 22k. But back to the white, I would say for
    the last 5 years at least it has been this way with no signs of
    change. All of a sudden rose seems to be creeping into the mix more
    than usual, but for us white is still the strongest. When I do custom
    pieces for family and friends, all age groups, white is also the
    preferred color. And platinum, as high as it goes, people are still
    buying. I must have at least 2 dozen platinum pieces in the works at
    the moment.
