Chlorine can weaken the bond structure of the gold (reason why you should not swim while wearing a gold diamond ring, it does weaken the tines that hold the stone). The bromine reaction to yellow gold is harmless but it will make it look higher karat (more orange).

I agree but at a normal spa bromine level of 6ppm (0.00599g/litre] you could be in the spa for a very long time before you noticed any change?
I did read a thread a while back where a gold Rolex colour had changed after being in a spa but I’m not sure if the reason was established.
I do remember the colour was returned to normal after a visit to a RSC?
