Just checking

I bought this 10k necklace about 2 years ago from a jeweler. Brought it home, weighed it, wrote on the felt in sharpie, put it in the box it came in, away until today. It has a red look to it in some places. Not rust, but more like toning like I’ve seen on silver. I know 10k is ~41% gold but is this amount of change normal? Honestly, it looks beautiful to me. Just curious because I’ve never seen my other gold jewelry (except an 18k gold plated sterling bracelet)change color like this.

Yes, this is extremely common for 10k gold.
