Sterling silver can sometimes turn the skin green due to a reaction between the metal and moisture, acids, or other chemicals on the skin, such as sweat or lotions. Sterling silver is made of 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% typically composed of copper to increase its strength. It’s this copper content that can react with substances on the skin, forming copper salts that leave a greenish tint. Despite this reaction, sterling silver is still considered real silver—the green discoloration doesn't mean it's fake; it’s simply a natural result of the metal’s interaction with its environment.

Regularly cleaning your jewellery with a soft cloth can help remove buildup and reduce these reactions, keeping both your silver and your skin looking their best.
