Hi there! I'm interested in printing out some pretty sweet custom jewelry. Can anyone point me to the best filament to make something look similar to yellow gold? I'm also curious as to what type of finishing process I should apply to my printed jewelry as I would really like for my designs to shine.

Hey there @TrinidadJames2015
Two ideas:
ColorFabb BrassFill

Once you've printed and finished your item, you could use a gold plating solution

Also, if you want to actually print IN METAL, this might be of interest..

Hope one of these options appeals to you!
Cheers!
