The definition of a metal includes the fact that it is shiny when freshly cut. Metals that readily oxidise would therefore have a dull appearance as a layer of that metal's oxide would quickly form on the outside. Such metals include Zinc, Magnesium and Lead. Any metal that has been left to oxidise for a long time would be dull, so copper or even silver, for example, could also be dull. Unreactive metals are rarely ever dull. Thus Gold and Platinum are examples of metals that are almost never dull.
Gold is a very soft metal and can be scratched easily. Hundreds or thousands of minute scratches can make a gold item that was once shiny look very dull. A jeweler can buff it for you and make it shiny again, although some antique pieces look better slightly dull. Some jewelers will do it for free as a service to keep you in their store longer so you might see something you like and buy it. Other jewelers will charge a small fee. Also, some gold items have been intentionally dulled by etching or scratching the surface to make them less shiny. Ask your jeweler if yours is one of these pieces.
At home this can be achieved with a piece of abrasive material, a bit like a pan scrubber! In the workshop we use a "scratch brush". In much the same way as a highly polished piece look dull after the scratches of day-to-day wear and tear, then a dull finish will eventually wear shiny. The dull finish, just like the highly polished finish, can easily be restored by your jewellery workshop.
