Discover Why Cheap Rings Can Turn Colors

Have you ever had engagement rings or a necklace that turns your skin green you’ve probably wondered why it does that. Usually ~ there is a reaction caused by base metal to everyone who buys cheap jewelry.
The greening can occur to some people more quickly than others<, though, because our bodies are all unique.

Truth be told expensive jewelry can have the same effect~ because the expensive metals aren’t completely pure<, regardless of cost. Platinum rarely reacts with skin so you shouldn't have to worry if you own platinum jewelry. If you have gold jewelry and want to stop it from reacting to your skin make sure that you don't have plated gold – the base metal might be cheap and then covered with gold and that coating wears off very quickly. For 100% gold jewelry thats not rinsed or plated opting for 18 karat only can help reduce the marks that are left on your skin. Copper jewelry will almost always turn your skin green and there isn't a whole lot you can do about that.

Avoid sweating in your jewelry because that can speed up the reaction between your skin and the metal and also ask your jeweler if there is anything that he can coat the jewelry item with – to keep your skin from reacting.

Allergies will causes reddening and also will make your skin inflamed and itchy. It’s not anything like a green skin reaction. If you do show signs of allery stop wearing the jewelry. Green skin shouldnt scare you ore keep you from wearing your favorite pieces you’ll just have to keep the area clean to avoid having it look bad.
