[Jewelry making - Article 00069] - [Orchid] Using master alloys by themselves

Hi Everyone,

    I'm a student at the University of Vermont studying metalwork and
    jewelry. I was wondering if it is possible to use a master alloy by
    itself for casting instead of mixing with whatever karat gold one
    normally would. I don't have the money to buy gold or colored gold so
    I thought this might be a way to work with colored metal. I wasn't
    sure if it would be structurally sound. Particularly, I am looking at
    the red and green master alloys in the Rio catalog. 

Thanks!
Adam
