Has anyone seen Tiffany's new metal: Rubedo?

[faintlymacabre]

Hi! Since I heard this metal dubbed by others as "rose silver"... May I know if the Rubedo ring you got 1) tarnishes or 2) blackens your finger?

Mine has never blackened my finger, but I've never had that happen with silver either... It does smell coppery/metallic though.

I bought my Rubedo ring in March. I wore it constantly for a while, and then let it sit in its pouch for the past few months. I took a look at it yesterday and there is no tarnish on it. Maybe it would tarnish if left out, but I always keep it in a pouch in my drawer.

As for all the price debates, if you think it's not worth the cost, nobody will be able to change your mind. Just don't buy any. If you like the look of the alloy, go for it. *shrug*

Thank you! I bought the YG Tiffany Notes band ring instead. I read about the metallic smell so I decided against it. Moreover, the narrow Rubedo is not yet available in my country. Anyway, thanks for you reply!

I have the Rubedo narrow band and had no problems with tarnishing or turning my skin green. I haven't noticed a "smell" but then i don't smell my jewelry. It is a pretty ring and most people assume it is rose gold. I am happy with the purchase and OK with the price. I believe it was around $375 and would purchase some of the cheaper Rubedo pieces in the future. I like the look of the bar pendant

Yes! It's a pretty ring. I love the color!

BUT Rubedo prices here are waaaaaaaay expensive. To give you a picture: Website price for 1) Rubedo Wide Ring is $650 while price for 2) 1837 YG narrow ring is $850. Actual price here in our store is Rubedo wide ring costs around $250 to $300 MORE than the 1837 YG narrow ring. Hence, I took home a YG ring instead (not the 1837 haha but the Tiffany Notes which incidentally is almost the same price as that of the 1837). It's crazy! Hahaha!

I think you made the right choice. I did considered the yellow gold version but the difference was $475 and the yellow gold doesn't complement my skin tone as much. It is a fun piece that I love but I don't considered it an investment. I love it for what it is

Yes! I think that's the most important part... that we love and enjoy what we purchased.
