Question Is Effetre Rubino Oro also known as Pink Gold Premium?

Frantz has a 50% off sale on Pink Gold Premium Special.... I'm thinking that is the same actually as the fab Rubino Oro I've read about. The number for it is 591456....

Is this one and the same color?

Well one and the same number but no not consistently one and the same color. I know that is not a lot of help but Rubino Oro is like that. There is cranberry Rubino, striking Rubino, Rocky Rubino , Pink Gold, all the same but each batch has tonalities to it. So if you aren't matching it, then at 50% off just try it.

Ah yes - Ms.Giggles - there always is a small catch with glass color. Thank God you encouraged me to buy it. I needed my checkbook to have two voices against it's whiny voice that bitches that I have too much glass as it is.... There is absolutely no such thing as having too much glass. Thanks!

Rubino Oro = Gold Ruby = Pink Gold.

There's no consistency between batches, which may be part of the reason for the different names. I hate that they are so different from each other as much as I love it.

Buy it. Esp if it's on sale. That should shut the checkbook up.

DH says that looking at the pile of glass, some Pink Gold included, that I am in the process of cleaning and labeling, that I am getting pretty close to SABLE - love it. Haha.
