ARG! Metallic threads and flosses that break, shred, ravel, and all around just suck! You might think all metallic gold looks the same but only ONE DMC metallic gold is any good, (I believe it is the antique gold) and if you get the wrong one and switch golds in the middle of something, it shows.
And might I also recommend Madeira metallics. I have used their gold thread in my sewing machine to quilt, and it was fantastic! I have the silver too, my Sew & Vac store was having a 2 for 1 special so I stocked up on the stuff.
