What does unplated WG look like?

[alloamie]

Does anyone have pics? I can''t seem to find too much info when I google.
Sorry if this topic has been covered, but I couldn''t find anything when I searched on PS, too.
Just want to see how "yellow" wg really looks without the rhodium plating.

Thanks!

Here is a thread of Coati''s ring with some pictures of unplated gold. But remember that it is going to vary a bit by the alloys and concentration of gold in the piece too.

Thanks, neatfreak!
I didn't realize that ring was unplated! MUCH whiter than i would have thought...

here's a pic i found online of an unplated WG ring:
(this pic was turning me away from going with unplated WG for my next project, but hmm if coati's ring is unplated, then i will have to reconsider!)
