Have you ever purchased a beautiful new ring, only for it to turn your skin green after just short while? There are a number reasons why this might happen, from body chemistry to the type of metal used.
When it comes to the type of metal used, you might ask yourself “does sterling silver turn your finger green?” The short answer is yes, sterling silver jewelry can sometimes cause your skin to turn green. Despite what you may have heard, however, this happens because of the metal’s composition—not because it’s “fake” or low-quality silver.
Today we’re sharing some tips for protecting your skin from turning green from your silver jewelry; plus we’ll connect you to higher quality sterling silver to prevent this from happening! You can pair silver jewelry with any outfit so we want to make it easy for you to enjoy this versatile accessory.
The first step in understanding why sterling silver may turn your finger green is to understand the chemical makeup of sterling silver. In its purest state, silver is very malleable, making it great for manipulating, but too soft to keep its form. In order to create silver jewelry, the silver must be blended with other rigid metals, known as alloys, to keep its shape. The most common alloy jewelry makers use is copper. A 925 sterling silver piece of jewelry consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. This small amount of copper is what’s responsible for potentially turning someone’s skin green.
