My SA recently informed me that Tiffany is discontinuing the Robedo line.

Doesn't surprise me. I did see some new items though, mainly mixing it with silver, but it may just be their way of having lower price options while using up the remaining materials.

I think it's a bit of a hard sell. When buying jewelry, I'd typically rather have something that is industry standard, such as 18K gold, than an alloy of non-descript composition. It's not low enough in price to appeal to the sterling silver purchasers, and in many instances, there is an item in rose gold comparable in price. I'm having a hard time justifying buying a Rubedo bracelet when I could get a DBTY 18K bracelet for around the same price.
 
On another note, has anyone noticed that some pieces have returned to their pre-increase prices? One of the bracelets I was considering went up, then is back to its prior price. I wonder if it was originally increased in error or if it was a tactic to encourage people to buy.

I agree with you. I think I read that rubedo metal ends up being about 7K but is mostly copper. the concept of anything less than 10K doesn't sit well with me, even more so when it has a Tiffany brand name on it.
 
I was checking the price increases of the items I bought the past year and a half and wow.

1. T small link bracelet I bought at $450 now $500
2. Atlas bracelet I bought at $250 now $300

Kind of ridiculous. I'm hoping the thick T cuff stays at $950. Saving up for it.

Waiting for my account to mature so I can post pics of my collection. Im a guy but I love Tiffany's modern and clean jewelry items.
