[MissStepcut]

Thanks for sharing! in your pic, they look more whellow than pink, but now I really want to go see it in person!

Another (not so successful) attempt to show color. Background should be white, but didn't show up as such with my iPhone

<sigh> so I bought even more. I love my earrings so much, that I went back and got the pendant, too.

Some of the pieces are pretty but no way am I paying Tiffany $$$ for some pink silver. To each their own though.

I wonder if it will tarnish? Does anyone know?

 

[Tanzigrrl]

I wouldn't pay the $8K they want for the big silver and Rubedo necklace. Someone did, though, while I was in the store! I just bought the less expensive "fun" pieces to try it out. I get that it's gimmicky, it's just interesting to me. A new alloy. Something to play with.

As for tarnish, don't know yet. They said to wipe it with a regular soft cloth. I will let you know in a few months/year if it has tarnished at all.

Fun pieces Tanzigirl!!! Enjoy them!

I think the colour is very interesting and I also wonder how well it will wear.... I have quite a few silver pieces and they haven't tarnished, which is great. Maybe this won't, as well

i checked it out a few weeks ago, as i was getting emails EVERY day from tiff's talking about it!

I love the color of it...i really liked one of the rings. I'm olive skin toned and it looked awesome against my skin...until i saw the price tag I love T&co, but for the price of the ring i could have bought, new charms for my necklace, some silver earrings and probally a new silver ring haha.

Having had more time to think about it, and to focus on the issues raised, this is where I have to pull the cord and get off the bus.

The prices do not seem to be commensurate with what is basically copper jewelry and this = bad to me, the hyper-marketing, the hyper-pricing, yes, some will go into a purchase eyes wide open. Many will not. These are the people I feel for.

I looked on their site and found this, for example:

This is marked, "METAL". It's $1,500.

But Danny, it "captures the rose luminescence of a sunrise." If that's not worth $1500, I don't know what is!

The look AND price of gold now in copper jewelry!

They are so far off base from being the world's best jewelry store since 1837 it's not funny.

Let's review.

Oscar Heyman- strong as ever
Harry Winston- owned by Canadians
Tiffany- Rub-whatever it is

Ok, 1/3 is not too good for America playing in the big leagues. Just saying.

I can't believe $1500 for a mainly silver bangle. Rip off. Rip off. Rip off. I wouldn't buy labeled jewelry anyway -- you pay Tiffany $1500 for the privilege of advertising their name on your wrist. Did I say Rip off?

Good one! I'm with Danny on this one -
