In Poland, Russian gold has long been praised for its durability. Many older individuals maintain that it outperforms contemporary gold. Marzenna Król, a jeweler with a quarter‑century of experience, examined this belief. She pointed out that many historic pieces were simply made with greater mass. The increased heft, she explained, creates the impression of superior quality. Król argued that the material composition has not dramatically changed over time. Her comments challenge the common myth that Russian gold is intrinsically better.
