This is a result of oxidation caused by the interaction with certain elements such as oxygen and sulfur as well as with some acids. Some wearers may experience a green mark from this. This is not considered as a defect to the product.
• Make sure to protect your jewelry from scratching, chemicals, sunlight and heat or cold. Store your jewelry in a soft linen box or pouch with an anti tarnish strip. 
• Chlorine in swimming pools can cause damage and erosion on your silver and gold plated jewelry. Do not wear jewelry when swimming. Keep out of contact with sunscreen and other lotions.
