    A few years ago, while in an antiques shop I saw a peice that the
    owner of the shop said was bloomed gold. It was worn but you could
    still see some of the effect. I wasn't all that impressed due to the
    worn state of the peice I saw. Now I have a client who wants the look
    of bloomed gold. I really have no idea what unworn bloomed gold
    should look like and I'm not sure what it is really. My assumption
    was that it was a heavy type of surface alloy depletion; however,
    another antique dealer who is more of a jeweler said she didn't think
    it was that at all. 

    I checked Oppi and Brephol, but found nothing. It could be listed
    under some other term than bloomed gold, but I don't know what that
    term would be. 

    Any ideas as to where to get some information? I didn't find
    anything of note from an online search.
