@zachemighjewelry: If you’ve ever worn gold jewelry in a swimming pool, watch this. This engagement ring came in with a broken center prong. Once I started taking it apart, the white gold was so brittle it began flaking and crumbling. The owner had worn the ring in pools before. Chlorine-containing chemicals can attack components of gold alloys and leave the metal much more susceptible to cracking and breaking. Take your rings off before pools, hot tubs and bleach. Send this to someone who needs to know this. #JewelryTok #JewelryRepair #GoldJewelry #EngagementRing #JewelryTips

Then that’s not quality gold. Gold does not react to chlorine like that.

I do not wear my jewelry in the water or when cleaning. That’s not how you treat things that you love. Just because they can withstand it, does not mean that it should have to withstand it.

if the prongs are breaking like that wouldn't the rest of the ring also be brittle?

I’m a swimmer and I never take off my gold cross necklace. It has never broken off, I wear that thing every day. What kind of crappy cold is this?

I just got a house with a pool. I will not be wearing my rings in the pool ever again. I could have made a huge mistake if I didn’t see your video. Thank you.

Wow, such a pretty diamond for such poor craftsmanship, thank you for fixing her beautiful ring. And yes, take off those jewels in harsh environments.

I love business owners who have integrity like this! The love and care you put into this is admirable. So often people just do the bare minimum to get the money. You should be proud of yourself!

And my wife takes her platinum engagement and wedding rings off if her hands even need to touch water.

So what material ring can I get? Because I ain’t taking my ring off ever and I ain’t changing my lifestyle. So what should my wedding ring be made of ?

If the chlorine affects the gold,.. why wasn't it necessary to replace all of the gold of the ring? Honest question.
