There is an antique gold work technique of mixing gold with other metals, to form colored gold or gold alloys, that was used in the late 1800s. For example, gold mixed with "copper" provided a red sheen or with "silver" a green tint and was used for stems and leaves and the matte surface complimented the satin finish of the gems in the jewelry, such as the velvet blue of turquoise and the glow of Natural Pearls.
Some of the best examples of this type of gold work can be seen in the pre-Victorian gentleman's seals which were considered very important items of costume jewelry at the time. Incredible skill and care went into these important accessories.
