From National Geographic:Thank you for your feedback. We regret that this bracelet did not live up to your expectations. We wish to explain that any metal, even pure gold, can turn skin green or even black. It is because the metal can react with perspiration and body oils. Some people get good results by coating the item with clear nail polish where the item touches the skin. First be sure there are no sensitivities to the polish. Another method is to clean the bracelet with a soft cloth each time before wearing the bracelet. If you prefer to return your order, our customer-service department is always happy to help at NGCatalog@ngs.org.
