Heavy Metal
Tiffany & Co.’s latest innovation, RUBEDO™ marries “the richness of gold, brilliance of silver and the warmth of copper.” In celebration of the ubiquitous jeweler’s 175th anniversary, metallurgists worked to come up with the perfect blend of all three metals to create this special alloy. Named for the alchemist’s term for the pinnacle of achievement, “when matter and spirit fused to create something of rare beauty,” RUBEDO™ debuts in a new line, dubbed Tiffany 1837™, that features a cuff, ring, pendant, padlock charm and dramatic interlocking circles necklace. To further mark this milestone, in 2012, Tiffany 1837™ RUBEDO™ jewelry pieces are inscribed with the signature of Charles Lewis Tiffany in honor of the anniversary year.
