Silver Ring
How can I keep a silver ring from turning green?
I have a ring that not only turns me finger green but the intricate band is turning green as well.
I have tried silver cleaner, jewelry cleaner and clear nail polish but I can't get the green out of the ring!! UGH!
Thanks for your help!
True silver will not turn green, or turn your finger green. It must be costume jewelry. The material in the ring is reacting with the oils and natural chemicals of your skin.
But try some toothpaste and an OLD toothbrush. The brush will help get into the nooks and crannies of the intricate band, and provide a good scrubbing and the foaming action of the paste should get everywhere. Rinse well with water and pat or air dry. This should help get the green gone. I know it worked for me. Might take some time and effort.
Afterwards, when clean, you can then apply the clear nail polish to make a barrier so that the reaction can't happen as easily again. Good Luck!
