In the process of mining, smelting and making gold jewelry, it is inevitable that a small amount of radioactive elements will remain and be mixed into it. When wearing gold jewelry containing these radioactive elements, the skin in contact with it will be exposed to radiation for a long time, causing radioactive jewelry disease, and even radiation cancer in severe cases.

Common jewelry such as rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, glasses frames, clothes buttons, scarves containing metal wires, etc. Both contain chromium and nickel, and direct contact with the skin will cause inflammation. Pure gold and silver jewelry has stable performance and low probability of skin allergy. However, people who are allergic to jewelry are often prone to dermatitis due to some stimuli.
