HOT TUB ALERT!
There is a danger lurking in your hot tub. It eats away
at gold and silver and may discolor some gemstones. It's called chlorine. Chlorine and chlorine like chemicals
- bromine, for example, attach the alloys used in karat gold, leaving the metal brittle and grainy, and thus, susceptible
to breaking the chlorine reaction that occurs in areas that have been stressed, such as the bend in a prong or a stretched
segment of the shank.
Chlorine has an oxidizing effect on silver causing it to turn
black. According to the Platinum Guild International, these chemicals won't damage platinum, but may discolor diamonds
or gemstones.
Remove jewelry before climbing into the hot tub or pool.
The caution extends to the use of many cleaning solutins and even drinking water that is chlorinated or treated with similiar
additives.
