THE CONTRAST FROM THE GOLD IS THE BEST BUT I THINK I WOULD TRY A DIFFERENT SHADE OF GOLD. THE RED IS OK BUT I THINK I WOULD TRY A DIFFERENT AGAIN NOT THE SAME AS IN THE BODY. NUMBER 3 MAKES IT LOOK THE SAME OR ALL ONE COLOR. THE GOLD AND WHITE MAKE THE CENTER STAND OUT AND I DON'T CARE FOR THE WHITE AT ALL. I FEEL A LIGHTER AND A PLAINER OR VARIED SHADE WOULD BRING MORE CONTRAST TO THE PIECE. SO I WOULD SAY THE GOLD IS BETTER BUT NOT THE BEST. BUT WHAT IS YOUR CHOICE AND HOW DO YOU INTEND TO USE IT
