Why Does Bronze Jewelry Stain Skin Green? & How to Prevent It

Question
I have a bronze ring that turns my skin green. How can I avoid this happening? I don't leave it on too long. I am wondering if I leave it on for a longer time, if my slin will get used to it.. Thank you

Answer
HI LAWRENCE,

BRONZE JEWELRY IS NOT VERY POPULAR DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT TURNS YOUR FINGER GREEN. THE LONGER YOU WEAR IT THE WORSE IT WILL GET. HOWEVER IF YOU WANT TO WEAR IT MORE GET A GOOD CLEANER AND CLEAN THE SURFACE EACH TIME YOU WEAR IT OR BETTER YET HAVE THE RING PLATED ON THE INSIDE WITH GOLD OR RHODIUM OR ANY METAL THAT DOESN'T REACT TO YOUR SKIN. AS LONG AS THE METAL (BRONZE) DOESN'T COME IN CONTACT WITH YOUR SKIN THE RING WON'T AFFECT YOU. GOOD LUCK
