Gold Jewelry<\/a> - one of the most valuable and expensive among jewelry. However, sometimes gold going black<\/a> and loses its attractive appearance. Why does this happen? There may be many reasons, from the jeweler's use of poor-quality material to health problems. Read our article on what to do if your gold goes dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The properties of metal and the reasons for its darkening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gold tarnishing is a fairly common problem. Many people mistakenly believe that it rusting<\/a>. However, this precious metal has no such property. The jewelry acquires a black, gray or even green color when oxidized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Why<\/span>

\n

There are several scientifically proven reasons for the darkening of jewelry. Let's consider the most common ones.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The poor quality of the product. What impurities cause gold jewelry to oxidize<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Today there is practically no jewelry made of pure gold. The most common metals that are added are silver, nickel, copper, and sometimes iron, chromium, and aluminum. Because of these inclusions, gold oxidizes and plaques appear on the piece. However, this happens if there are more extraneous metals than the basic material, or if the goldsmith has used gold of a purity less than 585.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Jewelry\"<\/span>
Experts recommend cleaning jewelry every 1-1.5 months<\/span><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Taking medications (externally and internally)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some substances affect the precious metal in a special way, and noticeable stains may appear. These usually occur when the metal interacts with mercury and with iodine<\/a>. These elements damage the top layer of gold, after which the product cannot be restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Mercury and iodine are often present in preparations for external or internal use. Therefore, you should carefully study the composition of the medicines during treatment if you wear jewelry. Even a small amount of therapeutic ointment with iodine can damage the surface of the piece and lead to stains. Many experts believe that gold can turn black if you are taking hormones.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Applying cosmetics and perfumes without removing jewelry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some cosmetic products and perfumes contain substances that may damage the jewelry. Therefore, you should remove all gold jewelry before applying creams, spraying toilet water and perfume, or applying other cosmetics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Even hand cream, which women use at least once a day, over time can ruin rings, bracelets, and chains.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Using household chemicals without gloves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the most common causes, Why it's turning black<\/a> gold. Household detergents contain substances that oxidize gold. Moreover, they contain many other aggressive impurities that damage the structure of the metal and cause scratches, dark spots, and discoloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

State of health and sweat production<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The human body contains many pores that regulate metabolism in the body. They are also involved in the thermoregulation process. Because of this, there are many pores in the human body. gold alloys<\/a> drops of sweat get in. From regular impacts<\/a> The metal oxidizes. It turns out that increased perspiration contributes to the darkening of jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The nitrogen itself is excreted by the human body with sweat. However, this version has not been scientifically confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is also an opinion that the blackening of the precious element indicates various illnesses and ailments. For example, many people believe that the oxidation of gold is a sign of abnormalities in the work of the internal organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
