The ring it's verry pretty and i wore it for a while. it didn't change color in contact with watter and i am sure it is silver. I did clean around the house with some strong chemicals and it turned black but i washed it with toothpaste (like you do with any silver jewelry that gets black) and it cleaned.In fact those are the pictures after i cleaned it so i am 100% sure it's silver. i am quite sad tho...as you can see on the inside there is a little crack and i think with time the ring will break.....i am really disapointed but i will enjoy the ring for as long as it last
