Solid Gold jewellery is always an excellent choice fashion-wise. But did you know it's also waterproof?
Gold doesn't rust or lose its shine, making Solid Gold jewellery completely resistant to water damage. Whether you're taking a dip in the ocean or caught in a rain shower, your gold jewellery will never tarnish. Here in New Zealand, it's a major benefit to have jewellery that you don't need to worry about taking off when it starts getting wet...
From a scientific perspective, Gold doesn't tarnish in water primarily because it is a highly inert metal. This means it is less reactive compared to other elements. As a result, it is highly stable and resistant to corrosion (caused by reactions with other elements), ensuring that it maintains its shiny appearance over time.
Please note: this only applies to Solid Gold Jewellery. Plated, Vermeil or Filled Gold jewellery is NOT waterproof...
