When gold is dipped in aqua regia the outer dull layer dissolves in aqua regia and the inner shiny layer appears. Due to this, some gold is lost during the polishing process. This causes the reduction in the weight.

Answer:
The gold jewellery is dipped into an acidic solution called aqua regia (a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid) for polishing. On dipping the gold jewellery in the acid solution, the outer layer of gold dissolves and the inner shiny layer appears. This causes a slight loss in its weight.
