    tiffany items bought in the uk at least (real ones, that is) are hallmarked. I have one of their big cuff bangles (a gift for being a brainbox at uni ) and as well as all the decorative 'hallmarks' on the front, inside it has a hallmark of about 0.5mm by 3mm.

    have to day it's a genius marketing ploy. Make a super cheap alloy and charge 10x the price if it were gold.

    Though I think it actually looks quite nice, I have to agree with Medusa, marketing ploy, particularly in light of the chart Peter showed of the percentages of metals needed to achieve such a colour. With my love of word play I see it as Rube ( an unsophisticated bumpkin ) Do ( to diddle out of) :0)
