    I'm sorry but that's just hogwash. I offer most of my designs in
    both 18k and 14k gold. It's simply a question of what color the
    customer prefers. If you have a decent design to begin with it
    doesn't matter if it's 14k or 18k. On the other hand if your design
    is bad to begin with it won't matter what metal you offer it in.
