Can a Gold ring get pitted?

Yes, a gold ring can develop pitting, though it's less common than with other metals. Pitting usually occurs due to exposure to harsh chemicals, moisture, or prolonged wear, which can cause corrosion or degradation in alloyed metals. If the ring is made of a lower karat gold mixed with other metals, it may be more susceptible to pitting. Regular cleaning and proper care can help prevent this issue.
