Sorry if this doesn't belong here but I really need help ASAP. Over the past 2 weeks I've been wearing a new necklace that I was given as a gift from my mom in law.

It's a pretty thick necklace and yesterday I noticed a thick black ring around my neck that I can't get off. I guess my skin had a reaction to the metal in the necklace. Soap and water is not working. Even rubbing hard is getting me nowhere.

I hope somebody has some ideas. I have to keep wearing the necklace to cover up the ring, which is probably making it worse, but I'm too embarrassed to walk around without it. I don't have any other necklaces that are nearly as thick to cover it up.

Look forward to hearing advice from all you lovely ladies.

Thanks!

maybe rubbing alcohol or nail-polish remover?

1. Don't you own any turtleneck tops?
2. Apply something oily like baby or salad oil or cold cream. Let it soak in for a bit, then wipe off with cotton or tissue. Repeat if necessary. May not work but won't do any damage.
3. If you can afford it, take it to a jeweler and have the necklace made longer so you can wear it under the collar of a blouse.
4. Or ask the jeweler about applying a clear lacquer finish, but be aware that lacquers do eventually discolor and/or flake off.

use clear nail poliosh on the jewelry, and a loofa on your neck.

Thanks for all the tips - I'll try them.

As far as turtleneck tops - the weather here is warm - it might look a little funny, but thats a good idea until this tides over.
