14 Kt Gold looking stuff
Hi all. I'm trying to make a pair of earrings that look like transparent gold. (With a shimmer)
I have 14 k in Effetre but I thought if I put aurae on top it would help turn it gold but it's turning silver metallic. Anything you could suggest to make earrings look like gold without turning it a dark amber? Really like the 14kt on its own but would like to add a bit of shimmer to it. Metallic gold shimmer
Thanks!

If you put this in the main Tip and Techniques section you'd probably get more answers. I would maybe try a light gold fume on your 14K and reduce it a bit right before popping into the kiln. Too much fume and it will go pink on you but it's worth a shot maybe.

OOO my brain hatched an idea! How bout using Amber's Fire Opal technique. A sammich of 14kt and silver foil. The foil should look goldish with the 14kt encasement. BLING.

hmmm I'll have to try that. The Aurae did it on clear so I got what I was looking for but I need to try that as well Thanks Jamie lynn. Now to delete thread since I put it in the wrong spot!

Iris Gold. Kugler is better but Reichenbach works nicely, as well.
