·Patina on gold can be beautiful though. When it’s gone it’s gone.

·Gold is a metal that that wears history. The Japanese writer Tanizaki wrote a great book about that. I would keep it.

··Oooo subtitles!Pure gold doesn’t do that. It’s the copper, silver and other metals in the alloy that are forming the patina.
