    I love your design critique! I have been using 18K yellow and 18K
    palladium white (from Imperial) combination in a number of pieces. I
    like the working properties of 18K pw - more malleable than 18K y -
    and I also like the way the 18K pw refracts light to create areas of
    dark shadow. 

All the best,
