What metal doesn’t turn green?

Several metals are known for their resistance to tarnishing and discoloration, ensuring they don't turn green over time. Here are some of the best metals that remain pristine:

1. Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is highly durable, resistant to rust, tarnish, and corrosion. It doesn't react with skin or moisture, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear without turning green.

2. Titanium: Titanium is a lightweight, strong, and hypoallergenic metal that resists tarnishing and discoloration. It is ideal for sensitive skin and maintains its original appearance over time.

3. Platinum: Platinum is a premium metal known for its durability and resistance to tarnish. It maintains its bright white sheen without turning green, making it perfect for high-quality, long-lasting jewelry.

4. Gold (14K and Higher): High-quality gold, especially 14K and higher, is less likely to cause skin reactions or discoloration. Pure gold (24K) is naturally non-reactive, but it's too soft for everyday jewelry, so it is often alloyed with other metals.

5. Sterling Silver: Sterling silver (92.5% silver) does not turn green. However, it can tarnish over time due to reactions with sulfur in the air. This tarnish can be easily cleaned, restoring the metal's shine.

6. Rhodium-Plated Metals: Rhodium plating, often used on white gold and sterling silver, provides a protective layer that prevents tarnishing and discoloration. Rhodium is a non-reactive metal that keeps jewelry looking bright and shiny.

7. Niobium: Niobium is a hypoallergenic metal that doesn't tarnish or corrode. It remains stable and doesn't turn green, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin.

These metals are excellent choices for jewelry that remains beautiful and tarnish-free, ensuring you can enjoy your pieces without worrying about them turning green.
