Just showing to someone how to make gold. This what I achivede in this 
version is more like some bright yellow metal, but I like the scene in 
general (nice warm coloros imho) so I'm posting it.

It took 6 h to render, using 1 M photons, and 100 samples radiosity (with 
is NOT enought as we can nitice some radiosity errors undre "Raf256.com" 
and under ring - in shadow).

What do You think? Any opinions are realy welcome :)

Not luster-y enough.

  Very very yellow for gold. Too yellow. If you want an 18 carat
colour, think of the make-up of that gold. 18 carat gold is 750 parts
to a 1000 pure gold, (which is an orangey colour), and the rest is
made up of either silver for yellow gold, or copper for rose/red gold.
If you want a 9 carat colour, it's 375 parts to a 1000 pure gold.

The golds in metals.inc have reflection colours a little less saturated than
pigment colours. Is this physically correct? Is it necessary nowadays, with
metallic reflection?

   I'm no expert with this, but I would say so, yes, as a standard for
PoV-Ray, if that's what you mean. With gold, you really want the
colour to come first before anything else. Most people recognise the
difference between a low carat gold and a high carat gold by it's
colour. I would also say that even though gold can hold a fantastic
reflective polish, not all manufacturing jewellers polish 9ct gold in
the same way, and in some cases, manufacturers will use different
finishes on their jewellery like a matte finish when using the
sand-blasting technique, etc. Same colour gold, different finish.

 > Is it necessary nowadays, with metallic reflection?

    Not quite sure what you mean by this. Is it necessary in general,
or by using PoV? The answer to both, I would say is yes.

    If you missed it the first time, take a look at one of my last
efforts below. I think I've got fairly close to the 18ct yellow gold
colour that I'm happy with, but it could do with a touch more ambient
imo.
