Sterling Silver Composition:
Sterling silver, often marked as "925," is made of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, primarily copper, to increase its durability and strength.
Chemical Reaction:
The copper in the silver alloy reacts with moisture, oils, and acids on your skin, leading to oxidation and the formation of copper salts.
Green Discoloration:
These copper salts can then rub off on your skin, causing a green or black discoloration.
Harmless:
This green discoloration is a cosmetic issue and is not a health hazard.
Prevention:
To minimize the chances of green discoloration, you can:
◦ Keep jewelry clean and dry: Remove jewelry before swimming, exercising, or washing hands.
◦ Clean regularly: Wipe down your sterling silver with a soft cloth to remove oils, dirt, and sweat.
◦ Apply a barrier: A thin coat of clear nail polish on the inside of rings can create a barrier between the metal and your skin.
◦ Storage: keep silver in a dry, tarnish-resistant environment
