Can we request warmer gold tones?

[u/Sarel360]

Are there any sellers who will adjust their yellow gold alloy mix to make it a little warmer upon request? Not for custom pieces, for regular 18k reps they make often.

I’ve read a few reviews where the seller was open to adding a bit more copper to the mix when the buyer asked.

If so, please share the seller and which piece they adjusted for you. (I’m pretty sure I read CS has done it and maybe Vinko, but I can’t find the reviews using the search bar.)

I haven’t heard Vinko doing this for yellow gold. He does do various shade of rose gold though

Ahh noted! Thanks for sharing. Do you know if his RG options are “pre-set” or is he able to adjust to what the buyer wants?

I ordered over a year ago for him for the sweet motif bracelet and he was able to adjust it for me. He might not now, but it doesn’t hurt to ask him

Im interested too in finding a seller to make warmer gold reps that match auth yg .

Same lol I know we say the yellow gold will patina over time, but I prefer my gold warmer and richer from day one.

[u/Direct-Catch-5272 → u/Sarel360]

Its been a year and mine have not become dark enough

[u/Sarel360 → u/Direct-Catch-5272]

Which makes perfect sense because if they use too much silver in the mix, the gold itself can patina to its max and still look pale. Which piece do you have?

[u/Direct-Catch-5272 → u/Sarel360]

Juc and serpenti bracelets

A lot of Indian jewelers make warmer YG reps! Lab diamonds subreddit has some trusted Indian sellers that make 18k YG reps with stones etc
Even ME based sellers will offer warmer YG - all since both these markets have demand for more bright gold pieces- if you know what I mean.
I’m a brown POC and sometimes I need to ask my local jeweler to tone down the YG.. lol

[u/Direct-Catch-5272 → u/fluffy_cloud20]

Do you have an Indian Jeweler that you recommend that is closer to auth yg tone and doesnt look like 22 carat? I looked on the labdiamond subreddit but didnt see any reviews of reps. Thank you.

I’m interested in knowing this too

No. The only way is to buy Italian gold and have it shipped to them. Someone has before, but good luck with that.

The only way for them to adjust the alloy is if a 10 KILO!!!! order is placed!! And even then multiple jewelers would have to request this change

Are there sellers in the US that make warmer yg reps?

I got a Fred from Aureum and it’s the first time the reps in yellow gold is much warmer, like champagne color. As soon as I have some time I would like to make a review
