Warm reminder:
When copper comes in contact with human skin where it can interact with air, sweat and other chemicals, such as soaps, lotions and makeup, or sunscreen, the oxidation (patina) process can accelerate and that causes the copper to turn brown, green or bluish-green, and stain the skin.

The reaction varies according to an individual’s body chemistry, both in how long it takes for the green discoloration to form and in how pronounced the color becomes. Some people experience no discoloration. The discoloration, incidentally, is not harmful to one’s health and is readily washed off with soap and water. If not washed off, it is normally absorbed by the body overnight.

Refunds will not be given because “It turns my wrist green.”
