If you’ve ever bought cheap jewelry that leaves a yellowish spot on your skin you’ve most likely asked yourself why that happens. Generally <, it's a reaction to basic metals to anyone who wears jewelry that is cheaper. It happens to some people more quickly than others~ though, because our bodies are all unique.
Even jewelry you pay more for can turn people’s skin green- reason being it’s not one hundred percent pure- no matter how much gold or silver is in it. Platinum is a safe choice as it almost never reacts with skin so not to fear if the stuff you wear is 100% platinum.
To keep gold jewelry turning your skin green make sure that you don’t have plated gold – the base metal might be cheap and then covered with gold and that coating wears off very quickly. For ‘real’ gold jewelry choosing a higher karat will lower your chances of green skin. Copper will react with skin and its hard to stop it.
Avoid wearing jewelry when you’re sweating a lot it can amplify the skin to metal reaction and also ask your jeweler if there is anything that he can coat the jewelry item with – in order to try to stop the reaction or minimize it. If you do this you should be able to wear your jewelry quite often. Remember- the green effect won’t hurt you. It’s a chemical skin reaction and not an allergy. Allergies (such as those to nickel) causes reddening plus it could also make your skin feel itchy and inflamed. Which is a far cry from green skin.
If you do show signs of allery stop wearing the jewelry. If all you have is green skin you are safe to keep wearing the jewelry just be sure to keep the skin clean so you won’t look bad.
All in all coating it is probably the answer.
