Unveiling the Mystery: Why Gold Jewelry Turns Black

Unveiling the Mystery: Why Gold Jewelry Turns Black

Ever noticed your gold jewelry losing its luster and turning black? Let's uncover the reasons behind this phenomenon and explore why our gold jewelry from Moncrieff Jewelry remains radiant and timeless.

1. **Chemical Reactions**: Exposure to chemicals in everyday products like lotions, perfumes, and cosmetics can cause a chemical reaction with the metals in your gold jewelry, resulting in tarnishing and discoloration.

2. **Sulfur in the Air**: Airborne sulfur compounds can react with the metals in gold jewelry, leading to tarnishing and blackening over time. This is especially common in areas with high levels of pollution or industrial activity.

3. **Skin Chemistry**: The acidity levels in your skin can also affect how quickly your gold jewelry tarnishes. Individuals with higher acidity levels may experience faster tarnishing compared to others.

4. **Moisture and Humidity**: Exposure to moisture and humidity can accelerate the tarnishing process, especially if your gold jewelry is not properly stored or cared for.

5. **Quality Matters**: Our gold jewelry is crafted from high-quality materials and undergoes rigorous quality control measures to ensure durability and resistance to tarnishing. With proper care, our pieces will maintain their brilliance for years to come.
