black ring band

Local actors pay homage to Cash
By Mark Hughes Cobb Tusk Editor Somewhat like the Todd Haynes movie 'I'm Not There,' in which several different non-look-alike actors — including Heath Ledger, Cate Blanchett and Richard Gere — played Bob Dylan, several folks of all shapes, sizes and ages will be walking in the shoes of The Man in Black for 'Ring of Fire: The Johnny Cash Musical.'

When a wedding band or any ring for that matter turns your skin a different color, most often green or black, this is usually not an allergic reaction. It is simply the ring reacting to the air, your finger, and other factors such as perspiration.

Copper jewelry turns your skin green. Most people will say, "I don't own any copper jewelry." However, though most people don't wear pure copper jewelry, it may be present in high enough levels to cause this reaction in other metals, such as 10K gold.

Sterling sliver is usually between 7-8% copper, but most stains are usually black because sterling silver is prone to tarnishing. It can be plated with other metals to help, but eventually these platings wear off exposing the base metal.

Gold rings hardly ever stain our skin, it's the other metals present within that cause the problem. Often times silver, copper, and nickel are used to strengthen gold and make it more economical. The lower the karat of gold, (10K, 14K, 18K, and 24K are the most common), the lower the concentration of pure gold in the jewelry. In the United States, 10K gold only has to be 41.7% pure gold, making the rest of the ring something that could cause this reaction with your skin. While some people are allergic to 10K gold, they may be able to solve their problems by simply wearing 18K gold instead.

After all is said and done, there are some simple methods to avoid the dreaded green stain on your skin. Here is a list of the best ones we've created to fit any budget.

#1 - Platinum rings rarely reacts with skin because they should be 95% pure platinum. Though expensive, platinum is the best there is.

#2 - Try switching to a higher karat gold, such as 18K or 24K gold.

#3 - Stainless steel and titanium are cheap and normally won't cause allergic reactions or discoloration.

#4 - Look for jewelry specifically labeled hypo-allergenic.

#5 - Coat your jewelry with clear nail polish where it comes in contact with your skin.

#6 - Keep your skin dry and clean where you wear your jewelry.

#7 - Simply don't wear the pieces of jewelry that offend your skin 24/7.

Why does my nice REAL gold ring turn my finger black?

I have a nice gold ring that's not cheap or a fake and it keeps turning my finger black. I heard it was something about a mineral I'm lacking in my diet, but I can't remember what.

Are you sure it's real? I have very sensitive skin and my white gold wedding ring (which I NEVER take off, not even to shower) has never turned my finger a color. Plus, most people with an allergy would have caught it in child hood.

Ring is a popular jewelry worn by every one of all ages. It makes us look good. But wedding ring is something that inspires a certain kind of excitement inside us. Especially the teenagers are fascinated by various types of fashionable wedding rings. When any teenager approaches his/her marriage ceremony they wish to buy the best-looking ring for the beloved one. But sometimes you will face a number of problems while buying rings. But if you follow the right guide line, you can be gainer while purchasing.

Many kinds of wedding rings are available in the market. They differ in respect of their metal, style, size or price. Among all kinds of rings the diamond rings are the best-selling ones. Basically diamond wedding rings are more traditional than the other kinds of rings. So you can think about purchasing it.

But before visiting any shop you must be aware of some details. Sometimes it happens that the shop-keepers make a fool of you while selling a ring. Whenever you appear ignorant about the details before them, they may cheat you and sell false diamonds. But if you can prove yourself a well-informed customer they will be careful while dealing with you.

Suppose you go to a jewelry shop and you are shown a diamond but you have doubt about its purity. Then don't hesitate to question the shop-keeper about it. If you hesitate you will be the looser. The best way to examine the diamond is to view it through the 10X viewing loupe.

Any shop-keeper can provide you stone of light colour as diamond. It happens that the light-coloured stone is kept before a black background. In these cases the gemstone looks like white diamond. What you have to do is to keep it before any white background. Then only the actual colour of it will come out. If you face these kinds of problems just try to ignore the shop.

You may be provided with the synthetic Moissanite diamond. It will look like pure diamond but it is not pure at all. To avoid duplicate diamond you must examine it through the 10X viewing loupe. There is another simple process to examine a diamond. You can simply place the diamond before any printed paper. Then just notice if you are able to see the words through the diamond. If you can read the printed letters properly then be sure that it is not a pure diamond because you will never be able to look through a pure diamond. You can just question the seller or leave the shop immediately.

Then comes the matter of its price. Generally it is seen that people are eager to buy the best wedding rings. Sometimes it happens that in this effort people are cheated. Whenever you are going to buy a ring you should see its price properly. See whether the exact price is posted on it or not. If there are cryptic codes shown then the ignorant customers may be cheated.

So to avoid cheatings be sincere while purchasing your diamond wedding ring or engagement ring.
