So, do you think gold is on the way back in or what? I have been seeing some gold where before I saw only gemstones and silver. Hmm. Gold is sooo expensive, even at wholesale cost-then you have to mark it up for retail and, believe me, where I live there is a limited market as to who will buy the end product at retail. The problem is, I don't like to deal in faux. Wooden beads, crystal and glass are ok as they are "honest" but I don't particularly want to use gold plate. Maybe just throw in some sterling with brass?
Opinions please!
More Later,

I agree they are showing a lot of gold in the fashion magazines, and a lot on clothes as embelishments.
ReplyDeleteGold is very expensive and I don't think a lot of people are going to be buying it even though is "in style".
I think it's a great idea to stick with silver and throw in a little brass for the look of gold.
Have fun creating.
Things are always changing...wait a couple of months and the pendulum might swing back to favor silver. Personally I don't like goldplate as it tends to wear off and then looks cheesy. Gold filled tends to tarnish, so maybe bright brass is the best choice in the end for a gold substitute.
