Why Jewelry Turns Your Skin Green (And How to Avoid It)

Have you ever taken off a ring only to find a green mark on your finger? You're not alone. This is a common problem caused by a chemical reaction between your skin and certain metals used in jewelry. But don’t worry—there are ways to prevent it, and brands like STUD are leading the way.

What Causes Jewelry to Turn Skin Green?

The green tint on your skin is typically caused by oxidation, a reaction between your skin's acids and metals like copper, nickel, or brass. When these metals oxidize, they produce a green compound that can rub off on your skin.

Some reasons this reaction occurs:

- Sweating or high humidity

- Using lotions or perfumes

- Wearing jewelry made from cheap or mixed metals

Is It Dangerous?

No, the green stain is not harmful. It’s simply a surface reaction and can be washed off easily. However, it can be annoying and unsightly—especially when you’re investing in jewelry to look your best.
