Copper can react with air, sweat, lotions, soap, sunscreen. That reaction can create a brown, green, or bluish tint on the metal. It can also leave a green mark on your finger. Totally normal. Not harmful. Some people never notice it. Others do. It depends on body chemistry. The green color washes off with soap and water. If you forget, it usually fades overnight. Refunds are not given for color changes on the skin. Think of it as part of wearing real metal. Honest metal does what metal does.
