Why does the skin blacken with gold and how to remove traces?

Gold is a famous and one of the most popular precious metals. He is chosen by successful and wealthy people. However, many of them often note that jewelry leaves dark marks on the body. The reasons for their appearance, as well as methods of getting rid of them, will be considered in this article.

Gold, like some other metals, is oxidized. And many believe that this is why the skin on the neck, ears or fingers blackens. However, oxidation is not always the only reason for the appearance of dark traces on the body or even on the metal itself.

Today, there are several main reasons why black spots may appear on the skin when wearing gold jewelry.

• High concentration of additional metals in gold. In its pure form, this metal is never used for the manufacture of gold jewelry. Be sure to make a special jewelry alloy. So, the more metals, such as copper, lead or zinc, are in its composition, the higher is the likelihood that the jewelry paints, that is, leaves stains on the body. This is due to the high degree of oxidation. The higher the percentage of oxidized metals in the alloy, the faster the blackening will appear, and the more they will be expressed on the skin.
• Gold jewelry is actually fake. This reason for darkening of the skin in places of contact with the body is most common. Unscrupulous manufacturers and sellers offer customers gilded products of low quality. As a result, the top layer is quickly erased, and the decoration itself not only loses its attractive appearance, but also leaves stripes and spots that have a dark color on the body.
• Coating products with special polishing paste may also cause dark marks on the skin. It is processed with gold products in order to give them a more attractive appearance. The strips from it are easily washed off with plain water from the skin.
• Permanent contact of gold jewelry with cosmetics may also cause streaks to appear on the body. Some of them may contain fairly aggressive substances, such as mercury or acids. They can cause oxidation of gold and, as a result, cause the appearance of dark spots or streaks on the body.
• If spots appear on the face and neck, and are also accompanied by itching or a rash, and there is nickel in the gold alloy, then the stripes on the body are the result of an allergic reaction to this jewelry, more precisely, to the compositionfrom which it is made.

There are several more factors due to which traces of wearing gold jewelry may appear on the body. They are not so common, and many of them have no scientific justification, and ordinary people most often choose them as the reason.

It has long been believed that silver is a moonstone, but gold is sunny. Therefore, if the owner of any jewelry made of solar metal is damaged, the evil eye or somehow tries to harm him, using magic, the jewelry begins to leave dark streaks on the body. In most cases, it itself loses its luster and attractiveness.

Believers believe that if a gold jewelry leaves marks on the body, then a person has committed some serious sin, and these stripes are a reminder of this. In this case, there will be traces until the sinner repents of his deeds.

And there is a belief that gold marks a bad person. He can practice black magic himself and try to harm others. Or maybe a person has such a sin as despondency or envy. In all these cases, the solar metal leaves a dark imprint on it as a warning sign for those around him and himself.

For several dozens, or even hundreds of years, people unprovenly believed that gold can leave dark traces only on the body of a sick person. Today there is scientific evidence for this.

So, stripes can appear in people suffering from some ailments.

• Diseases of the liver and kidneys. In such cases, special drug therapy is provided, and often it is precisely the reason for the appearance of bands on the body. However, hormonal changes occur in healthy pregnant women, and here also after wearing gold jewelry spots and streaks on the skin may appear.
• Intense sweating and a tendency to constant elevated body temperature. In some categories of people, normal body temperature can reach 37.2 degrees. In both cases, stains and stripes remain after wearing the jewelry.
• Exposure to radiation or poisoning of the body. The hormonal background of the body also changes here, and unpleasant dark prints on the body may appear.

But sometimes this is not enough. In such cases, it is necessary to look for the option of deliverance based on the cause of the appearance of dark traces.

• If the reason lies in medical intervention or in taking any drugs, then here at the time of treatment and recovery it is only necessary to refuse to wear gold items. Also, strips and stains must be thoroughly washed with soap and water. Over time, they will disappear themselves.
• Supporters of esoteric causes of skin marks suggest that you need to turn to psychics for help, or go to church for confession. In fact, it is better to find the exact cause of the appearance of streaks on the skin., and until then just refuse to wear gold jewelry.
• If the cause is an allergic reaction, then after consultation with a doctor it is necessary to use special antihistamines, as well as the exclusion of wearing jewelry in the future.
• When if streaks appear due to the use of cosmetics, then you can remove them by visiting the shower and using means for deep pore cleaning. In the future, apply funds to the skin only after removing the jewelry. It can only be worn after the product is completely absorbed into the skin.
• Before putting on the products for the first time, it is best to wipe it with a soft cloth. This will help remove excess polishing paste from the surface, which means that it will not allow streaks to appear on the skin.

You should require the seller a quality certificate for the selected jewelry. It must necessarily contain information such as the manufacturer, the weight of the product and its sample, the price both for grams and for all jewelry, as well as the date of manufacture and the manufacturer's signature. It should also be checked in the cabin whether the sample indicated in the certificate matches the sample on the product itself.

It is important to choose jewelry with a breakdown of at least 595. Such products have an affordable cost and good quality. It will also be useful to find out the percentage of copper and nickel in the alloy of the product. If possible, you should choose jewelry that does not contain nickel. This will reduce the risk of an allergic reaction to a minimum.

The unspoken rule that price is one of the key attributes of quality is more relevant than ever in this situation. Good gold jewelry cannot be cheap. Even a small ring weighing about 3 g, which does not have any extraneous decor, cannot cost less than 3-5 thousand rubles. Low price - a sure sign that the jewelry is not gold, and gilded, or it has a low quality.Therefore, deciding to purchase a product on sale with a big discount, you should also clarify the reason for its appearance.

Only following these simple but important rules will the risk of acquiring a fake or low-quality gold jewelry be minimized.
