Copper is easy to oxidise, please dry it after touch of water.
To prevent affection by chemical materials in water, please remove sterling silver jewellery before soaking in the hot spring or swimming.
Prevent direct contact with acidic substances, e.g.. perfumes, fragrances, vinegars, bleaches, etc.
Copper will change to reddish brown colour when it’s oxidised; to rose-gold-like colour when it touches more with skin. Oxide may leave on skin but not harmful. It will vanish after few days if the ring is off.
Copper may not be suitable for sensitive skin. You may choose silver or gold as replacement.
