It is generally not recommended to wear gold jewelry when swimming. The main reasons are as follows:
Chlorine element erosion
The water in swimming pools is usually disinfected with chlorine, and the chlorine element can cause damage to gold jewelry. Prolonged contact with water containing chlorine can cause the surface of gold to oxidize, making it lose its luster. It may even undergo a chemical reaction with gold, causing it to change color.
Jewelry is prone to loss.
When swimming, water makes the skin smooth. Meanwhile, the impact of the water flow and the movement of the body also increase the risk of jewelry falling off. Moreover, once the jewelry slips to the bottom of the pool, due to the depth and turbidity of the pool water, it is difficult to be detected and retrieved in time, which may cause irreparable losses.
There is a risk of collision.
There are many people in the swimming pool and the environment is complex. During swimming, gold jewelry may collide with the pool walls, the bottom or other swimmers, causing scratches, deformations and other damages on the surface of the jewelry, which affects the beauty and value of the jewelry.
