I was recently in Winnipeg shopping around Polo Park and ran across a very pretty sterling silver ring. I've never really owned something 'sterling silver'. I'm wondering if someone knows what the difference is between this and silver itself? Does it leave a weird greeny colored mark on your finger if you wear it lots? (I had experience with that when I was younger with a mood ring...hahaha! yuck!) Is it a better metal?? I'm wanting to buy a real nice one...what are your thoughts??
