I get most of my supplies from the US so it's honestly just easier for me to list in US prices rather than converting.

Yes, it probably will. How much is dependent on the wearer- for people who believe in copper's healing properties leave it bare, there's no harm to you and it washes off easily- if it does bother you try clear nail polish on the inside of the band or let me know at checkout that you'd like it sealed- keep in mind this is temporary and how long it lasts will depend on the wearer's body chemistry- I also advise that you take off your jewelry while in the shower, doing dishes etc.
If you love the style but don't want to deal with the greening, most of my rings are also available in solid silver- copper free!

That depends on you, there's a lot of factors it depends on. Some people have high acid ph levels and the plating will wear down more quickly- applying lotion and washing your hands with your rings on, using chemicals and swimming will all affect how long your plating will last. For some people it will last only a short time while with others the plating will last much longer. You can use a jewelry grade product like protectaclear to get the most out of your plating or you can have the finish redone when the gold wears off.

I get a lot of requests for pictures, so many that I've made the decision to stop sending them unless a purchase has been made.
I appreciate your understanding!

Absolutely and I know shipping is expensive so if you want to switch your size I'll split it with you- just pay the shipping to get it to me and then I'll pay to send you the correct size.
***the exception to this are birthstone rings- more on that below***

Custom birthstone rings are made to order just for you and are a custom item- very occasionally someone asks if they can return a ring because of a sizing issue or they didn't realize that copper turns your skin green however I cannot accept returns or exchanges on these because I can't resell them. It's important that you order the correct ring size.

When purchasing with a shipping upgrade please understand that this applies to mail class and has no effect on my processing time.
*If I have your order in stock then of course it will ship much sooner*

I'm sorry but I cannot be held responsible for packages marked as delivered but not received.

When I say solid silver I mean precisely that, they are done in pure silver and no copper is used at all.

I use a patina to give all my copper pieces an aged look, it will start to fade though the more it's worn. To get that finish back use liver of sulphur and finish with some steel wool.
(only do the metal being careful with the stones)
