Gold is a noble metal, that is, it the least reactive metal.
Gold does not react with oxygen and moisture which is present in the air and it does not lose its shine after several years.
Its least activity with other elements puts it down at the bottom in the activity series of elements.
This, is mainly the reason why gold ornaments look like new even after several years.

This is because gold is very unreactive metal which has its place very low in the reactivity series .So on coming in contact with water or any other substance ,it does not react and therefore remains new looking.
