Not from me. I use gold sparingly -- don't like it as well, and haven't found a lot of quality. CGM has gold findings like their Bali findings, as do many companies, but they appear to be (for the most part) silver pieces dipped in gold, and for me these lose some of their clarity. There are handmade gold beads out there but they are too expensive for my tastes (I am inherently cheap) so I don't bother with it much.
It does bother me that a lot of lampwork artists use aventurine stringers, which causes me to use gold instead of silver. I tend the like the cool colors better anyway, all of which go better with silver. So, no help here.
