So what’s the story with everose fading and water? Myth?

Is it true rose gold can fade with even tap water?

I know you shouldn’t be taking it into a chlorinated pool, etc. but will even normal water possibly fade it?

Been looking into trading up for a 126715 but am worried about this along with the general softness of gold overall.

Apparently it fades so much you can see through the colour and it becomes invisible.

It's rose gold or blush pink hair dye that fades
Not 18ct rose gold ....watches and jewellery

Bathing in mercury is to be avoided. It doesn’t just fade but disappears completely!!

There was a fella that posted pics of a ruined DJ a while back after taking a dunk in a hot tub. It was an absolute punch in the gut to look at.
