24 karat Gold

https://www.shapeways.com/materials/plated-brass

Is there or will there ever be options for 10, 14, and 18 karat gold instead of 24 karat gold plating? Personally, I find 24k gold to be gaudy and way too soft. Every piece of 24k anything I've ever owned ends up scratched, bent, nicked, and/or dented. Also 24k is this bright garish yellow color that, well personally, I'm not a big fan of. I would really like to see different options, if that is possible. I truly hope it is because it would open up a lot of potential for jewelry making, among other things. Furthermore, using 10k and 14k would bring costs down, yes?

Also, will we ever see a silver plated brass option? This should hypothetically be cheaper than using straight silver, right? And will we ever see a just plain brass option? That could be very useful as well.

Thank you,
