    Quite a bit of my work is silver with some gold added. It is very
    well received, and the perceived value of a silver piece is much
    higher when it has even a little gold on it. I find that I need at
    least 18k for good contrast-- 14k is too pale to show up well. 

    Also, I haven't looked, but I would be astonished if *somebody*
    didn't have a trilliant bezel mandrel for sale! Scratch that-- I just
    looked-- Otto Frei has one (don't know who else)-- ottofrei.com
