Sun โ๏ธ + Sand ๐๏ธ + Beautiful Jewelry โจ, what could go wrong?
Eww!! Wait what the heck is that black line under my anklet?
I demand a refund!
๐ก This is when knowledge becomes power.
This is called Metallic Abrasion.
When dirt (sand), dust, lotions, ect rub on the metal it is broken down into tiny fine black metal particles.
This phenomenon is not reflective of the karat or quality of the jewelry. (Yes! Solid Gold does this too.)
It is also not my skin reaching to the gold, but the gold reacting to the environment.
๐งผ Just soap and water will take it off.
The gold jewelry remains beautiful โจ.
