What You Need to Know Before You Do
October is here, and with Halloween coming up, this is a scary thing we want to tell you about, especially if you are ready to sell gold jewelry! Before you throw away jewelry pieces that are tarnished, old, and dull because you don’t think they are worth anything, stop!Fiction: "Real Gold Doesn't Tarnish."
This is one of the most common myths we hear from our local community members in the Daytona Beach area who are getting ready to sell gold jewelry.
But guess what?
Real gold absolutely can have chemical reactions and tarnish, especially if it’s lower-karat gold (10k, 12k, 14k), which is mixed with metals like copper and silver that react to lotion, sweat, chlorine, and salt air. Living near the coast doesn't help either. The salt air is quietly having an effect on each piece of jewelry in the area… whether you notice it or not. Here's the part most people get backwards…
We all know FAKE gold can look very real. But, did you know that REAL gold can look VERY fake, too?
Just realize that discoloration and dullness don't mean that your jewelry is worthless. It may just need a proper inspection by a jewelry expert and cleaning! If you've inherited jewelry, or you are currently going through your own, don’t let the pieces that has lost its glimmer with grime, dirt and tarnish give you the wrong impression.
