My fiance proposed to me and gave me a beautiful white gold diamond ring. When I went to work to show my co-workers, one girl stuck out her finger to show me how much better her ring was...but her finger was green around where her band was. She told me it was sterling silver, and that it does it all the time.to me it looked like those costume jewelry rings they have at walmart. So, does anyone know if sterling silve really does that?

where do i go to find out how much a ring is worth on line?

    if it’s truly sterling silver, it shouldn’t.

    No. Your friend will probably have other disappointments, too.

    No, sterling silver won’t turn your finger green.
    But some coatings on the silver can.

    hahahahahahahahaahahah Your coworkers “better” ring is fake honey, that’s why it turned her finger green.

    Nope, real sterling silver doesn’t do that. I wear rings all the time and I’ve never had a problem. Your ring sounds beautiful…and what kind of snob tries to tell someone that her little silver ring that is bleeding green is better anyway? Jewelry is pretty individualistic, don’t let someone tell you their ring is better. Especially if it’s your engagement ring they’re talking about.

    Some people’s skin reacts to sterling silver, causing it to leave black marks (I get this with sterling silver earrings), and I suppose it could appear green on some skin tones. Ask your coworker to see her ring. If its sterling silver it will have a mark inside it that says “925″. If it doesn’t have a mark, it isn’t sterling silver. In that case, hand it back to her and tell her its beautiful. Then be smug for the rest of the day. lol

    she’s lying. REAL sterling silver shouldnt turn yerr finger green. she deserves to be knocked out. xD

    No it shouldn’t… that’s why people by silver. You probably got something made of nickel which will turn your skin green, and worse if you are allergic you’ll have even worse consequences.
