Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925.
Bronze is an alloy that consists of a mixture of approximately 90% copper and 10% tin. Producing bronze is a less toxic process than producing brass as brass is a combination of copper and zinc, and the manufacturing process often produces zinc oxide which is toxic.
Because bronze contains copper, it can turn your skin green whether you have an allergy or not. Bronze and copper turn your skin green because when the copper reacts with your sweat and the acids from your skin, it produces copper chloride. Copper chloride is a green substance that then rubs off on your skin. If you are prone to sweating, your bronze jewelry will definitely turn your skin green. This chemical reaction can also be prevented by painting any part of the jewelry that comes in contact with your skin with clear nail polish or clear acrylic enamel.
Customer Reviews
Beautiful ring, a bit smaller than I was expecting- I use to own a much larger version with ruby eyes that was stolen years ago and have been hunting for a replacement ever since. The perspective in photo made it look a little larger than what arrived but I probably was skewed by the memories of my ring that was almost twice the size when thinking this ring would be larger. Overall I am happy with the ring. The quality is exceptional and it is perfect in it's details- it is an exact replica in a smaller scale of what I use to own (minus the ruby eyes). Arrived quickly and beautifully packaged.
Very cool ring! Quick shipping. A happy customer! Thank you!
