Florida friends, this one's for you! 🏊♀️ Chlorine breaks down gold.
It happens on a molecular level, so you can't see it, but it's weakening your jewelry while you wear it in the pool.
We've even seen a piece literally broken apart after a lady put her hand in her chlorinated pool! Now, if you've been wearing your ring in the pool for 45 years, that's great... Keep doing what works for you.
But if it's your wedding set, your anniversary ring, or something you inherited, protect it as much as you can. And resort pools or subdivision pools are usually even more chlorinated. 💛
