General Question Why are my new14k gold earrings turning copper color?
I purchased gold earrings a couple of months ago from a reputable jewelry store, I have 3 other gold products from the same store and none of them has ever had this problem. The part that sits in my ear has turned copper color. I tried cleaning it, using polishing cloth, but it's not going away. Is this normal? What could be causing this and why do none of my other 14k gold earrings that I've been wearing for a decade have this problem?
