If you could link it to me, I’d appreciate it. Did a search too on the whole forum and wasn’t able to find a thread/comment with my concerns being discussed.Please read the previous page. This has been discussed quite a bit on this thread.
My question is about the bracelets, which I don’t think anyone has asked before on this site. If anyone knows the answer, kindly let me know, thanks!

Your best first step would be to try the tarnish polishing cloths that have been mentioned as helpful earlier in this thread. Clic H bracelets are fashion jewelry so I’m not sure what could be done beyond that and if it would actually be worth it. Perhaps they could be “dipped” to re-plate the rose gold plating but I would imagine doing so via the H spa would cost nearly as much/more than just buying new ones. If I had this concern, I would take the bracelets into my H SA and get their opinion and then go from there.
Link to related thread below. Maybe someone there could help. Good luck!

Dear TPFers,
I just noticed that my RGHW Birkin (which has been kept unused) has more pinkish hardware on the keys than the rest of the hardwares. Is this the same with all your bags? I am kind of freaking out. Please help.
*In the attached photo you can clearly see that the keys are more pinkish than the lock.*

I'm not going to be too much help but.....I had a beautiful constance with rose gold hardware that I adored. I'm very particular with my bags, storing them properly, using them properly etc...One day I went to use her and noticed that the hardware had what looked like tarnishing on it in places... i was distressed so i immediately took it to my sa who sent it off to Paris. Never saw her again and was given a credit - no explanations....It's not the first time I have heard a story like this. Needless to say I have no desire for rose gold now.....
Happy Holidays

They do look like they are different tone…
Is this a new bag? Did you get it from the boutique?
Mine look like the same tone
Thank you, I feel bummed about the hardware looking different now. I bought it from a friend brand new.
Same here. I notice two things about rose gold:
-the exposed hardware turns more to yellow gold in time
-and it tarnishes on the edges
For these reasons I will never do rose gold again. It’s too high maintenance for me.
Ahhh the keys were inside the clochette the whole time, maybe that's why they look more pink than the rest now. I live in a tropical area, that might have contributed in the yellowing of the rest of the hardwares.
I was just going to post about this. If they were stored in the clochette they would oxidize at a different rate. FWIW it's hardly noticeable, even more so if they are going to continue to be stored inside the clochette
yes the rose gold hardware on the birkin will turn slightly yellow overtime, also I have started noticing mine, the pearls of the turn lock plate get darkened much quicker than the regular gold hardware. Thats when I rehomed the birkin (it was only just over 12 months old) as I worry it will be high maintenance over time, and I don't live in a humid climate.

It’s very true that Hermès rose gold becomes yellow gold as it ages. 
Here is a photo of my rose gold birkin fresh from the store 2/3 years ago with a yellow gold breloque charm.
here is the Birkin today next to my noir kelly with gold hardware. They’re practically the same tone now. Because of this, I tell people who ask about Hermès rose gold to accept the fact it May not stay pink forever. It’s still cute though so if it doesn’t bother you, I’m sure it would be okay!
