What the heck? I haven't done anything different other than start a new protocol yesterday along with Nystatin.
I put my rings on around 3:30 PM. I just noticed that the ones on my left hand, my wedding band and engagement ring, have turned a copper color.
So far the ring on my right hand is okay. I haven't touched any unusual cleaning products. The color is turning a deeper shade of copper quickly!
Any thoughts?

Did the rings come in contact with some chlorine?
A friend of mine put her hand in some concentrated chlorine in a pool container and the rings turned this color (and her hand was in bad shape from this accident too!)
The jeweler was able to clean them up like new.

Are you right handed? And did you use hair spray today (or something else)?
I used to sell fine jewelry (many moons ago) and it took us forever to figure out why one woman's yellow gold rings changed color (she went through two sets).
She accused our store of selling crap (ha ha). She was right handed and used her left hand as a guide while spraying it (acetone).

Boy...I wish I could do the reverse (turn copper into gold)!
Seriously though...chlorine.
Sometimes stress.
Gold wedding rings have even turned white too on some gals.
Yellow gold is made by mixing pure gold with alloys such as copper and zinc
Pure gold is 24 K and it is too soft to be used as a ring.
