 RE: need to decide which material to use !

Ming,
If a design is patented, you risk patent infringement even if you make it just for yourself. After all, if it turns out well, and you make a few for your friends, then you'll have to change the design anyway. Check to see exactly _what_ has been patented first.

As to material - most (if not all) gold ligatures are plated, not solid. I don't know if the gold will work well; gold is very ductile and may stretch too much to be useful when tightened. You'd know better than us!
