I have been going to a gold smith now for some 10-13 years and a man called Burhanudin at Permata Dewata no.6 Kalimantan road Denpasar it is a small street parrallel to the gold street. He is well known in Australia and Europe, trustworthy. some say that gold street gold is dodgy as sommetimes they sell you 10ct instead of 18ct. as to colour this is a dipping prorccess and all gold is naturally very yellow, european colour is dipped to get rid of the oxides on the surface. He is honest and will use supplied gold from you or supply gold if you don't have to melt down. if you have gold to make a bracelet then I would expect to pay approx. 20-25 $aud. I have made many rings for my wife and myself using my gold and have never paid more than $35 for hers and $25 for mine hope this helps you.
