I’m looking into buying everyday rings, but there’s so many different kinds materials used and I don’t know which is best so the rings won’t tarnish, turn finger green etc? Could someone explain like gold plated, white gold, yellow gold, tungesten, silver, sterling silver.

>gold plated
It’s not all gold. It is coated with real gold, but if you cut it in half, you would see the cheaper metal inside.
>turn finger green
Fake gold is copper chemically enhanced to look real. It is usually sold as a scam. So you don’t realize it was a scam until your finger turns green
>white gold
Pure gold with other metals, such as nickel, palladium, silver, or zinc, to make it look different.
>yellow gold
Regular gold
>tungesten
It’s super heavy, so people think it’s cool
>sterling silver
90% pure silver it has other metal in it to make it cheaper than 100% pure
>tarnish
100% pure silver with no coatings gets a dark ashy rust on it when left exposed to air. You must clean it regularly or it will turn black. It’s kind of like rust but it’s specifically for pure silver.
