Silver Plated
Posted in Watches on 02/06/2010 12:41 pm by adminHow do I stop silver plated rings turning my finger green?
I am diabetic, and my friend has bought me a lovely ring when she went home to Morrocco, and I have just bought a new one today. Because I am diabetic, the acid in my skin removes the silver plating and then the copper turns my fingers green.
What can I put on my finger, or the ring to help prevent this.
I should have made myself I bit clearer on my question. I am unable to wear any silver jewellery unless it is 99.9% silver. Silver plate and sterling silver gets tarnished or comes of the jewellery very quickly. In the past I have been told that it is because of my diabetes it happens. My skin is more acidic.
I am sorry if I worried anyone into thinking they may have diabetes because the same thing happens to them. I was not clear on my question. I hope I have provided full clarity
You can buy micro pore tape from any chemist, buy the thin one and put a strip around your finger under the ring, cut the tape a little thinner so it won't show. You can also buy clear plasters now and you could do the same thing with those. I tried clear nail varnish but it didn't work for me.

It doesn't mean you are diabetic, any ring that is silver will contain a base metal, this is what some people are allergic to and can turn your finger green, because of the acid in your skin. The same goes for a silfver plated ring which is copper underneath, if the silver wears off, copper will turn green with the acid from your skin if the ring is left on too long.
