I went back to Tiffany's today, and had my SO take a look. He immediately dismissed the bar pendant; said it looked like a plain pendant. He was much more impressed by the small 3 circle pendant and so I ended up getting that one, since I wanted to have him with me when I bought it. Even though my birthday is only 3 days away, we are both going to be working so this worked out better.

Thank you! I was trying to decide what to buy myself for my birthday... When I heard about Tiffany putting out this new metal, I knew I had to get a piece.
It is rosier than rose gold, and cooler in tone than pure copper (i was wearing a trinity ring and one of the rings is pure copper so I could compare it).

ok so.... i have the interlocking small pendant, but here i am, 3 hours after i went to bed, and now i am up posting on here...
here is my issue:
i think i might want the bar pendant, and mainly because it it soley rubedo metal... the bar and the three circles are on opposite ends of the style spectrum... gah i am literally losing sleep over this (or it is just because i unwisely had an americano before i went to bed... the joys of having an espresso machine at home, ugh).
who knows; i might just own both. that might solve the issue.

If it can tarnish is it more of a "rose silver"? I hate to have to polish metals... I'd actually prefer they use stainless steel in it if it would prevent tarnish since their new alloy isn't really a precious metal anyway.

Congrats! I love it. You should post modeling pics.

I found the bar pendant so tiny. This necklace has a little more presence.

Yes, I agree. The bar pendant would be more subtle. I also liked that it had Tiffany's signature on it and sadly the three rings does not! I might start with the bar pendant. We will see. I need to go back when they have the bar pendant back in stock.

I took the plunge and bought the narrow 1837 ring. They are having to ship it to me because my ring size wasn't in the store. It may just be because I don't have it my hands that I am feeling this way but I am already having second thoughts. None of the SAs were able to offer me more than a guess at how the metal would wear/change color with time. That is my biggest reservation. I also wonder if I shouldn't just plunk down the money for gold if I'm that worried about it. Have you guys heard any more helpful information about rubedo?

This is pretty. But you will have to polish it like silver. But it does look really nice!
