Will Your Rings Turn My Skin Green?
No, Love Catcher rings will not turn your skin green. That specific greenish discoloration is typically caused by inexpensive base metals, like copper, reacting with acids or moisture on your skin. Our jewelry is made exclusively using quality materials such as Sterling Silver, Solid Gold (10K, 14K, or 18K), and Platinum, none of which cause that signature green reaction under normal wear.
Why do some rings cause skin discoloration?
Skin discoloration happens when the metals in a ring chemically react with the natural oils, sweat, or lotions on your hand. Copper is the most common culprit behind green fingers. Because Love Catcher focuses entirely on premium, fine metals, we avoid the cheap alloys that cause these stains.
Does Love Catcher sterling silver tarnish?
Sterling silver may naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to sulfur in the air. This is a normal characteristic of the metal and results in a dark gray or dull finish, but it should not turn your finger green under normal wear. Regular, gentle cleaning easily restores its original luster.
If your jewelry has grown severely dull or tarnished over time, it is best to seek out a professional jewelry repair and cleaning service.
How do solid gold and platinum hold up?
If you are looking for maximum durability and low maintenance, solid gold and platinum are excellent choices. Solid gold and platinum are even more resistant to tarnishing and discoloration than silver. They maintain their brilliant finish for a lifetime with minimal upkeep, making them ideal for everyday wear.
What if I have metal sensitivities or allergies?
We want your keepsake to be completely comfortable to wear. If you have known metal sensitivities or allergies, please contact us before ordering and we will be happy to help you choose the best material for your specific needs.
How can I prevent my jewelry from reacting to my skin?
To keep your ring pristine, remove it when applying lotions, perfumes, or hand sanitizers. Let these products dry completely before putting your jewelry back on, and always dry your hands thoroughly after washing.
