Does real gold ever tarnish?

Pure 24K gold doesn’t tarnish, but 14K gold may develop slight discoloration due to alloy metals.

Can I wear gold-plated silver jewelry daily?

Not recommended. Friction and moisture will wear down the plating quickly.

Can toothpaste clean tarnished gold-plated silver?

No! Toothpaste is abrasive and will strip the gold layer.

Does skin acidity affect tarnish?

Yes. Acidic sweat can accelerate tarnish in 14K gold and gold-plated pieces.

Can I replate gold-plated jewelry at home?

Home kits exist but often yield uneven results. Professionals ensure longevity.

Is 14K gold better than 18K for tarnish resistance?

Yes. 14K’s higher alloy content makes it harder and less prone to scratches.
