Swarovski Rings

Found this, sounds like your mil2b friend might have a reaction to silver, or maybe the soap or handcream increased the acidity (only guessing here ?) if your sis has other silver rings and not had a problems with a reaction reckon it will be fine.

If you have a natural high acidity level in your skin, it is possible for your finger may "turn green". That does not mean that there is a fault with the silver or the manufacture of the silver jewellery. The green is actually caused by oxidisation, and all silver will oxidise. The oxidisation produced is also what gives silver a tarnished look. For people with a higher acidity level, it can stain the finger, giving a dark "green" look.

Heylo i bought a swarovski ring in Jan this year and my finger is still normal not even a tinge of green

I have no idea about the green but I LOVE the 1st one x

The swarovski element is the stones, not the silver, so whatever the 'make' shouldn't make any difference unless silver is a metal she's had a reaction to before?

I've bought loads of Swarovski jewellery and never had an issue....

Thanks everyone. I thought the same - that it can't just be Swarovski rings because how can the silver be different to other rings??!! I think the person in question must have had similar reactions to other silver but my MIL2B assumed it was just the Swarovski brand for some reason. Haven't managed to find anybody else yet who has had "green fingers" from Swarovski rings so I'm just going to go ahead and buy it. Now just have to choose which one!

Thanks again.
