Dear Andreas,

    We have used a product, recommended to us here on Orchid, from Hoover
    and Strong called Ti-gold. It is cheap, casts and finishes similar to
    14k yellow gold, and has a similar color to your average 14k gold
    alloy. The tarnish shield product recommended by Hoover to use with
    it is no longer available, so we've done some experimenting on our
    own. It does pick up fingerprints, which remain behind as tarnish,
    but these seem to clean up pretty nicely with a good rubbing with a
    Goddard's Longshine cloth (available at some hardware stores or
    online- Google Goddards and you'll find them). 

Take care.
Brenda
