I thought I put that on the forum,now I cannot find it.

Maybe it's much to early in the game,ah but I thought I'd ask you just the same

Maybe it means the finish on the material has come off and turned colors.

Base metal that turns green or it could mean a ring that twists on the finger. 9

Keep jewelry dry. Gold will turn black if exposed to chlorine - such as in a swimming pool or taking a shower.

I don't know why Hosts tell you to wear your gold jewelry while showering or sitting by the pool .

I have never had any of my gold pieces turn black for any reason.

@skatting44 I have been swimming in swimming pools and taking showers forever. My gold wedding has never turned black or any other color.

Could mean a variety of things depending on what's involved.

A ring can turn around on your finger.

Silver can turn to a tarnished finish.

Gold can turn a different color if it's exposed to certain chemicals.

A gemstone can turn a different color or turn cloudy for some reason.

My mother used to use this term to mean that costume jewelry had tarneshed and could not be cleaned. I was just thinking about this term the other day. I have not heard the word used in quite some time.

The info I provided was from a jewerly website. If you have solid 24 K gold it may not tarnish but 14K that is not solid but gold plated can tarnish . So, it depends
