Just a question, do the metals added to pure gold to make 18K gold corrode or change in any way?
If so, then perhaps old 18k gold would be different than new 18k gold. |

Old gold grows mold!
Be VERY careful.

"Rose Gold" has a little copper added to it. However, exposure to Chlorine can cause it to change color because the copper reacts with the Chlorine. However, Rolex adds a bit of Titanium, I think, that stabilizes the copper and maintains the color. So the answer to your question is, I think so... |
