What ruins jewelry?

Gold Jewelry Care

When partaking in the joys of a hot tub or swimming pool, always remove your gold jewelry before entering the water. These waters contain quite a bit of chlorine, which will erode gold jewelry terribly! The alloys used in gold are very susceptible to damage by chlorine, and more than once there have been cases of diamonds simply falling out of settings that have been exposed to chlorinated water. Jewelry is precious, and more delicate than we often think about. Next time you head for the pool, leave your jewelry at home.
