why do some rings turn my fingers green?
109451
Cheap rings are often made of copper with a thin layer of silver or gold over them.  Copper turns green when it is oxidized (look at a copper water fountain, for example), which occurs whenever it is in contact with air, but speeds up considerably in the presense of water.  The sweat from your finger, as well as water from washing your hands, etc., causes the oxidation reaction to occur relatively quickly.  Some of the oxidized copper from the ring is then transfered to you finger, turning it green.

Here is a detailed list of what causes bronze to turn green:  (It's corrosion)\n\nhttp://w3.gsa.gov/web/p/hptp.nsf/035c614b995c0406852565d1006211b3/6c8c800d5618e023852565c50054b2c6?OpenDocument\n\nFrom the article:\n" THE CONVERSION OF THE TOPMOST METALLIC SURFACE TO COPPER\n     SULFATE normally begins to occur on surfaces with the most\n     severe exposure, such as horizontal surfaces.  Oxygen\n     deprivation and deposition of particulates and moisture create\n     a  catalytic situation where electrolytic reactions occur.\n     (This is the same principle as a battery, where the charged\n     ions move from a positive to a negative pole.)  The visual\n     symptom of this phase is the formation of thin, light green\n     patches on the more exposed areas."\n\nIt also discusses Suphurization, which can also result in a green color. \n\nCheers!

White gold ring are typically plated with rhodium...Also yellow gold rings often have the head holding the stone rhodium plated...Have never seen rhodium used to make jewelry though...

give it a rest for a while.  by tugging on it, you have caused your finger to swell, and made it tighter.\n\nif it still doesn't work after the swelling has gone down (with more soap or oil), you might have to get the ring cut off.

Green? I've never seen them look green, and we do quite a few vaneers every month in our office. Sounds like the shade your dentist chose was not right for you.  Call him/her for an appt to have the shade checked.  They should match the color of the rest of your teeth.  Best of luck! Always consult your dentist for the best advice regarding your dental health.

It most likely means he's a hippie...or gay. Or both. Most likely a gay hippie.\n\nI take that back: Eric Clapton wears a thumb ring. It means he is Eric Clapton.\n\nNow that I think about it, if you wear a ring on your middle finger, it means you're gay. That's right. It's not your thumb, idgits.

I don't know about the low iron thing.  I do know, that periodically I do get black lines under my gold rings on my fingers.  Years ago, I started coating the  underside of my rings with clear finger nail polish, and it does help.

Ate something wrong? Heck no, its plant pigment & fiber in your diet. It happens when you are eating large amount of greenish plants.\n\nIts harmless. I occasionally have it since I'm a vegan.

i think if youre ring finger is longer than your pointer then you have more testoserone.  I was watching some show and this guy was able to tell which man was going to win footrace by measuring stuff, like his ring finger compared to his pointer.  i dont think its possible to have youre ring finger longer than youre middle, unless youre deformed

Take it to a jeweler. If the gold is in a ring, wear it & see if it turns your finger green; if it does, it is gold-plated or gold-filled, not fully gold. Well, not much is fully gold because gold is such a soft metal but the test should work, all the same...

You can change your yellow gold ring to white by having a jeweller coat it with rodium.  This is not permanent, it will eventually wear off.

Sometimes your body will react to metal.  Like me...Sometimes my fingers turn green from my rings.  Certain food you eat makes you react to metal differently.

None that I know of.Some people just like to wear a thumb ring, like I like to wear a toe ring on each foot.

The Touch Wheel reacts to human capacitance, or the electricity generated from our fingertips.  Gloves insulate your fingers so a the Touch Wheel wouldn't pick up a charge if you're wearing them.

it has to do with wavelength of the light.  the reason why plants are green is because they don't absorb the green light, green litht has a shorter wavelenght.  on the other hand If the object absorbs  blue, green and yellow light it will appear red  so I guess it does have to do with the material\nhope it helps
