I'm not sure how you processed the bottom piece compared to the top piece. The top piece seems to have been worked too many times now,if you have a rolling machine and rolled it length wise it would make the lines wider but lengthen the rod.

Without knowing your experience with mokume and precious metals it would be hard to advise you. Argentium or silver palladium could be a substitute for white gold. It really isn't advisable to hot forge precious metals. Here is the information that might help you. https://www.mokume.com/mokume-gane-a-comprehensive-study/table-of-contents

What type of white gold are you thinking about using?
