19 Comments0 ArnettaR 7 years ago on Introduction ReplyUpvote Unfortunately, this turned my spacers rose gold, which would be fine if it hadn't turned my "Love" bracelets beads a different color than the yellow "Love." Oh well. What are you going to do? For scientific purposes, let me also disclose that my bracelets became exceptionally tarnished after a day at the amusement park. Whether they turned because of sun damage, the chlorine in the boat ride, or because of a surge in my fight or flight hormones after riding the coasters with my 13-year-old, I'm not sure. But they were a funky brown color to start with. 1 reply0 mclare50ArnettaR Reply 5 years ago ReplyUpvote Ah! So sorry to hear that.
