There are the following taboos when using gold jewelry in hot spring baths:
Avoid wearing gold jewelry when soaking in hot springs: Although gold itself has stable chemical properties, hot spring water may contain slightly corrosive substances such as sulfur, which may cause damage to the surface of gold jewelry, leading to discoloration or spots. In addition, the high-temperature environment of hot springs may also accelerate the chemical reactions between jewelry and other substances.
Preventing jewelry from slipping and being lost: In hot spring baths, as the skin becomes smooth due to water, combined with the impact of water flow and body movement, wearing jewelry is prone to slipping. Once jewelry falls to the bottom of the pool, it may be difficult to retrieve due to the depth and turbidity of the pool water, causing losses.
Avoid contact between jewelry and chemical substances: In hot spring baths, disinfectants and other chemical substances may be used, which may have adverse effects on gold jewelry. Meanwhile, the minerals in hot spring water may also react with gold, affecting the color and quality of jewelry.
Pay attention to the safe storage of jewelry: In a hot spring bath, there are many people and the environment is complex, so the safe storage of jewelry is particularly important. One should try to avoid wearing expensive jewelry or store it properly in a safe place to prevent loss or theft.
Avoid wearing gold jewelry set with gemstones: If gold jewelry is set with gemstones such as diamonds, it is even more advisable to avoid wearing it when soaking in hot springs. Because the high temperature of the hot spring may cause the metal ring to expand and contract due to temperature changes, resulting in the detachment of gemstones.
