Besides being expensive, gold is a very soft metal, so it is mixed with harder metals to make it suitable for earrings (also gold coins, cuff links, tie clasps, rings, toe rings, navel rings, and just about everything else made from gold). Nickel is often used, and it turns black from exposure to the air, which is why an old nickel coin turns black. The gold itself should not turn black.
