Short but sweet, this happens most often to women, sorry ladies. It can be a combination of things but most commonly it is caused by makeup. Also certain chemicals can cause it as well as certain body conditions, IE. chemical imbalance.
Dry makeup and some liquid makeup contain minute abrasive particles. They are only abrasive to something that is not as hard as they are, such as skin and metal such as gold.
When one applies makeup while wearing jewelery the minute particles get in between the fingers and rings. As the jewelry moves around over the makeup these small particles grind on a microscopic level against the gold. This results in particles of gold and copper being removed which are so small that they look black against the skin instead of gold or copper colored.
So don't blame your jeweler, the best remedy is to not wear jewelry while applying makeup and wash your hands to remove any residual makeup.
It's never a good idea to wear any jewelry while using hairspray, harsh chemicals (especially bleach), working in the garden, etc. Heck, think how Paula Deen's rings must look after a session of making all that dough with a pound of butta!!!
It's a harsh world out there, be careful!
