As summertime heats up remember to always remove your gold jewelry before heading into any pool or hot tub! Pools and hot tubs use chlorine based chemicals which react to the alloy in gold and can cause significant damage.The higher the karat the less intense the damage. This is because the chlorine reacts with the alloy in the metal, not the gold itself.Hot tubs also pose a greater risk to your gold jewelry because the elevated temperature expedites the corrosive properties of chlorine.Fine jewelry is a lifetime purchase which is meant to be treasured for generations to come. Protect your jewelry from the harmful effects of chlorine and take it off before jumping in.
