The gold won't corrupt but since the jewelry isn't SOLID gold, the other metals may be affected by the acid. Try to stick with 18 kt gold or better.

Also, if you want to check prices out gold is currently selling at around 650$ US per ounce. Ask the jeweler for the gold weight and do a quick calculation to see if what you are planning on buying is actually worth it.
