Gold jewelry lacks maintenance and fades

After wearing gold jewelry for a period of time, there is a phenomenon of discoloration or fading. Many people think that this is the reason for the lack of color of gold jewelry. So they go to talk or go to the Consumers Association to complain, but they are told that gold jewelry is not gold. Jewelry is not good enough, but people lack the knowledge of jewelry conservation.

The discoloration or fading of gold jewelry is closely related to the sweat of the human body. 99% of human sweat is water, and about 1% is waste and harmful substances in the human body, such as: chlorinated substances, lactic acid, urea ammonia and so on. When these materials come into contact with silver and copper in gold jewellery, they produce a chemical reaction that produces silver chloride and copper sulphide and exhibits a deep black chemical salt. This chemical salt often falls from the gold jewelry, contaminating the wearer's skin, leaving a very noticeable black stain on the skin.

On the other hand, cosmetics at the moment have become one of the "characters" indispensable to people's lives. If applied to the skin of the gold jewelry wear, it will undoubtedly provide opportunities for cosmetics containing chemical substances and gold jewelry that is most afraid of chemical attack. The result is conceivable. Some cosmetics also contain some fine hard particles, which can form another type of dirt, thus consuming gold jewelry. It is worth mentioning that the talcum powder or moisturizer also contains similar particles, which will also eclipse the gold jewelry as mentioned above.

In short, in order to ensure that gold jewelry is worn for a while can still be as bright as ever. Should be sent back to the jewelry store for cleaning, polishing and other maintenance work, after professional jewelry maintenance, gold jewelry will immediately show a new look.
