What is Rubedo?

[AprilBaby]

Saw an ad in a magazine for Tiffany's "new metal" Rubedo. What is it? Looks like rose gold to me?

Haha, googled it and found this answer, so, will it turn me green?

7.5k gold. And lots of copper. Well, leave it to Tiffany to find a way to overcharge for junk metal.

Doesn't it have silver in it too? Like mostly copper and silver with a bit of gold? So yup, overpriced pink silver.

Stargurl, thanks for the link. My search didn't show me that!

Mostly copper...sold for gold...well done Tiffany!

This said, it can be an alternative for people who usually wear silver jewellery and don't want to/can't invest in 14k/18k gold. I just hope they are told what they really buy.

Well, they know now at any rate.
