Why is your sterling silver ring making your finger turn green?
True sterling silver will not leave green marks on your finger. Sterling from North America is fine silver ( .999 pure) a .925 % and copper makes of the rest of the alloy. Other locations will ofter mix fine silver with nickel. I assume whatever metal your ring is made of it oxidizing and the oxidation is rubbing off onto your skin causing a green mark to show.

You have had your wedding ring for almost three years and it just started turning your finger green why?
Sounds like it is a metal other than gold or silver. Might be gold or silver plate over a base metal. The gold or silver (if it was plated) could have worn down revealing the base metal, or you might just be having a reaction to whatever metal it is made of...usually will contain copper or nickel, which is why your finger is turning green.
