No it does not turn my finger green, question is will it turn yours/or the recipients green. Some people think that your ring turns green because it's not real silver. This is actually not the case at all. The ring turns your finger green because of a chemical reaction with moisture on your skin and the alloys in the metal. This moisture can be as simple as water, sweat or humidity.

You will have a similar reaction, aka oxidation, when you wear a copper ring as well. The green finger or tarnish is common with copper and copper is an alloy commonly used in silver, so you can see a connection with sterling silver and a green finger. My ring is plated with sterling silver and not solid silver.

Again, most people assume that if your finger turns green or your ring tarnishes, that the ring is not genuine sterling silver. The opposite is true because acids that cause the silver to oxidize, which are commonly found in the air, water, lotions, soaps, produce a reaction and cause tarnish. This can leave a dark ring or green on your finger.
