I think we need a forum for talking about precious metals and jewelry available in those metals. I don''t usually post in "jewelry pieces", so I find myself discussing gold (my metal of choice) in many different fora: Rocky Talky; Diamond Hangout; and here in Colored Stones. The threads are in so many different places that I can only find them by doing a seach for a key word!
I have gotten very interested in so-called "high karat" gold. I do not know if I am just reflecting a trend in society (i.e. if this is becoming in vogue) or if I am suddenly noticing that high karat gold is in fashion because I am so much more attuned to it.
I went into Neiman Marcus and saw some high karat gold jewelry by a French designer. I see that Bergdorf Goodman also has some (extraordinarily expensive) pieces of 22K (I think) jewelry for sale. Shop NBC on the web has a "24K Gold Collection" that is Chinese-inspired. I am seeing 19K-24K gold everywhere! Yet no one has the pieces I am looking for! Have I found an under-supplied market niche? High karat gold in styles an American woman would wear that is moderately priced?
