Have you ever had engagement rings or a necklace that turns your skin yellow I’m sure you’ve been curious what the cause is. Most Often - there is a reaction caused by basic metals to everyone who wheres jewelry made from cheaper metals. It can happen to some faster than others<, though, due to the fact that everyone has different skin.
Even jewelry you pay more for can have the same effect<, because it's not one hundred percent pure- regardless of gold or silver content. Platinum is a safe choice as it almost never reacts with skin so you shouldn't have to worry if you own platinum jewelry. To keep gold jewelry turning your skin green confirm that its authentic and not gold plated or gold rinsed jewelry – the base metal might be cheap and then covered with gold that can rub off. For jewelry made from solid gold opting for 18 karat will help keep green spots from showing up on your skin. Copper will react with skin and its hard to stop it.
Stay away from wearing jewelry when you're sweating a lot 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 guard your skin from the reaction. If you do this you should be able to wear your jewelry quite often. Just remember- your skin turning green is a harmless reaction. It's simply a reaction and not an allergy.
Allergies will will make you red plus it could also make your skin feel itchy and inflamed. Which is nothing like the green skin that you see from jewelry. If you do get an allergy to a piece of jewelry stop wearing that right away. If all you have is green skin you are safe to keep wearing the jewelry you’ll just have to keep the area clean so you won’t look bad.
At the end of the day coating your jewelry is generally your best choice.
