    Not yet but soon they could be... I just have to pop in here to talk
    about the platinum/sterling alloys. I don't own stock in the product
    or company but I wish I did! The platinum/sterling alloys work like
    14K yellow gold and are strong enough to hold up over time. You could
    make wedding ring from these alloys. Plus they are naturally white,
    bright white, and resist tarnish six times better than standard
    sterling. You got to try these alloys. They can be cast like gold
    would be, no special crucibles or torches. They can be engraved and
    bright set. When working with them it feels like working karated
    gold. And they cost at a quarter of the cost of gold. 

    If white gold should go the way of the dinosaur (which it really
    should) then these platinum/sterling alloys could clearly take its
    place. If I where still running a production line I would be
    switching to these alloys and then I'd sit back and watch my profit
    margin soar.
