A note about my gold experience:
I'm just a little over one year into working with gold. After months and months of struggle, frustration, expense, and some very rewarding "ahah!" moments I finally listed some gold pieces in the spring of 2022.  At first I started working with gold filled items.  Wire, and disks.  Quickly I learned where I can use this more affordable material and where I can't.  The chains I buy, and the chains I make are gold-filled.  It's just more economical and it will last your lifetime at a minimum.  More on the difference between gold-filled and gold plated at the bottom of the page.  I never use gold plated anything ever!  Bezels are full karat, either 14, 18,  or 22.  The little droplets are made from full 14 karat pieces I messed up... got a lot of those in the dish to work with, haha.  
I hope you enjoy my creations!

About Gold filled Material:
​
"Today, gold-filled is a quality designation that's regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Gold-filled is made by heat- and pressure-bonding a thin layer of karat gold to a brass (or other base metal) core. The value of gold-filled is greater than gold-plated because gold-filled has an actual layer of karat gold, not just a microscopic film, as is the case with gold-plated items."
