@goldmatters, let me add a little contribution.

How would an item that is prestigious just break off? Its very rare for one to find jewelry made out of 24K. But, mene has made this very easy to access.
No doubt that 24k pure gold is very soft and tends to scratch and bend easily thats why it is impractical for daily wear in most cases. Not to worry, mene have mastered techniques to make 24K gold more rigid.
Pure gold exhibits unique scientific properties. It’s chemically inert and resists any form of oxidation, which is why pure gold does not tarnish or decay, and will shine for millions of years regardless of whether it is stored in a vault or laying at the bottom of the ocean.
To best preserve your gold jewelry and prevent scratching, ensure you are storing it separately from other jewelry in its original pouch when not in use. Additionally, secure clasps and closures prior to storing your jewelry to avoid scratches and tangled chains.
@solitude ,I hope this helps. ☺

That is a myth perpetuated by the jewelry industry. Gold is the most malleable metal and also.... indestructable! Thank you for reading :)
