I had a RG chain lengthened. Well my hubs had it done for me. Just asked and he said it was something like $75 per inch. But this was for Rose Gold. Don't know the prices for other metals.

I really really wish they'd release more yellow gold piecesIs yellow gold currently "passe"?
I don't think it's passe. People have always worn it, even when the white metal phase was in.
The only reason I don't wear it is because it never looked good on me.
I wish they'd release more in RG ..lol..
Not the specific ones I'm interested in though. I love a bunch of their charms that are only available in YG or Silver. Hoping one day they come out in RG.
Huh! I like that their RG isn't super coppery-looking, but the shine wearing off bugs me, as does the potential for yellowing. At this point I feel like the only non-maintenance metals are platinum and yellow gold...
Rose gold doesn't look good with my skin tone and so I'm waiting for them to release the T wrap ring with diamonds in yellow gold but it's only available in white gold in Europe and Rose gold., which I find strange.
After your post, I took a look. Of course, there's one RTF item I'd love to have but it's only available in yellow gold.
Any idea if it ever came out in RG? If not, fingers crossed it does.
Yeah, I saw that one after I posted. Unfortunately, I can't wear silver, my skin gets red and itchy.
I may stop by at my local Tiffs this week and ask. I'm in no rush but would eventually love to own it.
Tiffany silver does tarnish, but cleaning it is very easy so for that reason I would buy silver pieces again from Tiffany!
I would say be careful what the SA says though. I got my silver key cleaned in the Prague store recently and it came back as dirty as I left it. It turns out the SA put it in the ultrasound machine (that only cleans gold and platinum!!!) When I asked if she was sure that was all she can do, another SA nearby interrupted in an angry tone (probably sounded rude because English isn't her first language?) saying that she could send it in for deep cleaning but that it would take a week.
I have read about people who clean their T pieces with Windex and get them as good as new (because of the ammonia that Windex contains I suppose). If you aren't a fan, I suggest using smooth toothpaste and your fingers (no cloth to avoid scratching your silver). That is how I cleaned my tarnished key when I got home from Prague, and it came back brand new! Now it is a white as the new SS bow necklace I bought.

Actually your SA was wrong. If you read forum posts elsewhere online written by current or former Tiffs employees, they say that with the silver you get a good bang for your buck, but that the gold/platinum/diamond pieces are very expensive for what they are. I guess this is because you can have the same design made for much cheaper by a local jeweler, and at that price point with Tiffany, you are really paying for the name.
