Q. Does the Gold Plated jewellery fade or tarnish?
A.
Gold Plating is temporary and will fade or tarnish if not worn
with care. It fades or tarnishes due to various reasons with
time and its use. Like all material that is not real gold will
eventually fade or tarnish and there is no time limit after how
long it will fade or tarnish as it depends upon each individual
person and locality. The rate at which it fade or tarnish will
vary depending on your body chemistry, how acidic or basic it is
and how much you sweat or how humid the weather is in your
locality, etc. |
