黄金平替出现?央视曝光沙金销售乱象
Core Viewpoint - The recent exposure of the sand gold jewelry market by CCTV reveals issues such as inflated prices, material fraud, and health risks associated with these products [1][2]. Group 1: Market Issues - The majority of sand gold jewelry sold in the market is unrelated to actual gold, with some pieces priced as low as 10 yuan, while genuine gold jewelry can cost up to 15,000 yuan [1]. - Many merchants mislead consumers by using names similar to well-known brands or by marking products with false stamps like "足金999" or "Au916," creating confusion about the authenticity of the jewelry [1][2]. Group 2: Health Risks - Some sand gold jewelry has nickel release levels exceeding safe limits by over a thousand times, posing a risk of allergic reactions for consumers who wear these items long-term [1][2]. - The thin layer of gold plating on sand gold jewelry can wear off quickly, exposing the underlying brass, which can further increase the risk of skin allergies [2]. Group 3: Material Composition - Sand gold jewelry is primarily made from brass with a thin layer of gold plating, leading to a very low gold content that does not correlate with the properties of genuine gold jewelry [2][3]. - The lack of standardized purity measurement methods for sand gold means that transactions rely heavily on the credibility of the parties involved, raising concerns about quality and safety [2]. Group 4: Consumer Recommendations - Experts recommend that consumers avoid sand gold jewelry and instead purchase gold from regulated channels to ensure quality and safety, retaining purchase evidence for accountability [3].
