Tiffany KEYS collection thread

Here is a picture of my Tiffany rose gold lock next to a yellow gold charm.

I am not sure that it turns yellow... but I do think that it's not AS pink as some of the other rose gold that is available... It's more subtle...

Once you've had it for a while it's like it's not as noticeable to you.

I used to think it was SO pink. But it's really not.

It's kind of like how diamonds miraculously seem to shrink over time as you wear them ahha.

Actually... now that y'all have me staring at it, maybe it is turning yellow.... :wondering

I just recently bought the rose gold dbty and I wear it with 2 yellow gold dbty necklaces, and after wearing it for a couple months ,I can't tell the difference between the rose and yellow.

Hi, just got my polished rosegold dbty necklace back!

what do you guys think? is it rosey or still too yellow gold?

It's really too tough to tell from the picture.

If you wouldn't have said that it's a rose gold lock, I would have assumed it was yellow gold. I'm sorry, but that piece doesn't look pink at all....

I agree it looks yellow. The chain looks kinda pink tho.

Ugh I hope my love bracelet doesn't fade!

Those pieces look yellow to me. I don't see pink at all.

The dbty looks pink to me, but not the lock. I never would have guessed that was supposed to be rose gold, even sitting next to a YG bead.

I think against my skin tone it is harder to tell. Against a white background, it looks a little pink. Definitely faded.

But yeah... almost wish I just would have gone with a yellow one.

Update: I got an email notification that my rose gold key "repair" is completed and it is in transit. I'll update again after it arrives. *crossing fingers* it's rose gold again...

Hi ladies, sorry to hijack this thread, but I have another question regarding rose gold. I have a rg love bracelet from Cartier. Reading through this thread, it seems like it gets it's color from the copper alloy. Does that mean in terms of gold weight and value, it had less gold in it than yellow gold or even white gold? I'd always assumed that it was as valuable but clearly copper is a cheap replacement for pure gold!!

I haven't the foggiest idea why Cartier's rose gold turns yellow. My gold of choice on all my statement jewelry is made of rose gold. My wedding bands are rose gold and have been rose gold for 20 years. I don't even own yellow gold because I have everything cast in rose gold. Nothing has turned yellow for me. Cartier must have plated their rose gold....much like white gold over yellow gold.

no it doesn't make it cheaper and there's no less gold. 18k is 18k gold whether it's YG or RG or WG, the extra metal in the gold composition is just copper instead of nickel or palladium etc...

Thanks! That was very helpful :smiles:

Went to the Tiffany counter at my local Holt Renfrew and asked them if rose gold fades to yellow... The gentleman (who wasn't the friendliest, as I think he was offended) said it does not. He said gold in general will get duller over time but polishing it and cleaning it very well will restore it's lustre.

I also asked to see another tiffany rose gold lock the same as mine, and held my 1 year old lock next to it.... and they're the same colour.

I guess it's just a subtle rose color that in comparison to other rose golds it may look not-so-pink....
