oh really? even at 18k it is harder than silver? i guess the precious metal content is still quite low in comparison to say sterling silver, as gold is super soft!
I may have to get some oval silver wire and make some simple band rings as its a really nice effect, i never really noticed in lord of the rings i just assumed it was half round wire
