    For some reason a lot of high karat imported gold is plated. I always
    warn customers of color changes when the pieces are worked on. I'm
    not really sure why this is done as the high karat metals have a
    great color without plating, but it is common practice. I refuse to
    do plating so the customers are just warned ahead of time and told
    there will most likely be a difference in the color.
