If your white gold ring is making your finger itch, turn red, or break out in a rash, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common issues people search for when it comes to jewelry allergies. The good news is: it doesn’t mean you can’t wear your rings, and it doesn’t mean your jewelry isn't "real”.

You found the perfect ring. It fits like a dream, sparkles beautifully—and then, a few days in, you notice a green mark on your finger. If this has happened to you, you’re not alone.
