========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]========
Donna, I have kept a number of aricles ( for counter-top use) to
show customers when they come in with this problem. There are a
number of reasons why gold will turn skin colors. The most common
is abrasion, cuased by makeup or medicated creams, lotions even
toothpaste on skin or clothing. The alloys in gold corrode,
forming dark compounds- under moist or wet conditions. Fatty
acids are released when a customer perspires causeing the
corrosion.Clorine is the worst for karat gold jewelry.And yes
your friends metabolism (or anyones) can affect the jewelry one
wears. So it isn't under karated jewelery as some think. I have
much more info if you need it. Hope
this helps. Thomas
