Wear Silpada!!!! Usually, only fake, costume jewelry will turn green. This is because it is made from copper instead of gold and the oils form you skin cause the copper to corrode.

Will gold plated jewelry leave a green mark on your skin?

That depends what the gold is alloyed with and what is under the gold. If the gold is alloyed with a cheap material or is covering a cheap material (usually copper) then it might turn your skin green when it oxidizes (copper turns green when it oxidizes - like that statue of liberty). If it's gold over silver (and you trust the jeweler), then you should be fine.

Does bronze jewelry turn your skin green?

Gold-tone over base metal is not the same as gold. Silver-tone over base metal is not the same thing as silver. Many base metals are used to make jewelry, and they are often coated with paint to make it look like gold or silver, but once the paint wears off, the metal can react with the skin and turn it green. This is especially true of jewelry that is made of copper and then coated with paint. Copper reacts to the sweat in a person's skin, and turns green. Gold-filled and gold-plated jewelry may also have certain base metals that react with a person's skin. The same is true of silver-plated and silver-filled. Sterling silver, Bali silver and such are not reactive and should not turn the skin green. Gold should not turn the skin green. Electroplate is another way of fusing gold or silver to base metal, and it is very durable, but if the plating ever cracks, the base metal could be reactive with the skin. The way to avoid purchasing something that will turn your skin green is to check for the tiny stamp imprinted on gold (it will tell how many carats of gold the jewelry is made of) and sterling silver (it will say sterling, and perhaps be accompanied by some numbers).
