Gold ring in hydrogen peroxide -- turned dark brown HELP!
I was using plaster of paris the other day, and I accidentally kept my rings on. So I left them in hydrogen peroxide overnight, now they are stained a dark brown! Any idea's on regaining the color back? thanks

is an oxidizer and more than likely caused oxidation (discoloration) of the base metal in the gold alloy. You could try repolishing the ring with a jewelers polishing cloth or take to a local jewelry repair shop and have it re-polished. Be careful what you use to clean your jewelry.
Good Luck,
