Genuine turquoise ring in hand-polished SilveryCopper™. This beautiful combination offers the striking look of artisan-crafted silver jewelry at a much more affordable price. It is a perfect choice for those who want the beauty of genuine gemstones without the sterling silver price tag. Important: What is SilveryCopper? It's solid metal - not plated, not sterling silver. There is no thin silver plating layer to peel off since the silver color comes from the metal itself. The color will darken with wear. It will darken (and can turn black), especially with exposure to lotions, perfumes, sanitizers, or cleaners. Polish regularly with a jeweler's cloth to bring back the beautiful silver color. It can leave a temporary mark on your skin. Copper-based jewelry like this will often leave a green, gray, or dark mark on some fingers. It washes off with soap and water. The mark is a harmless reaction between the skin's acid and the metal. If you want jewelry that stays bright with less upkeep, see our Sterling Silver line.
