serling silver allergy

A client bought 2 sterling silver wedding bands. The man's ring is turning his finger black and green and itchy. Her's is fine. He says he has never worn any rings prior to this. I assume he has an allergy to sterling silver. I was thinking of putting a fine silver interior band, thinking the copper in the sterling is doing this. Any other thoughts or suggestions?


Mokume Gane: How do I bond metals sheets with solder?

I'm trying to figure out how to solder metal sheets together, no larger than 1"x3".

I'm fairly new to metalsmithing, and I'm having mixed results trying to solder sheet to sheet. Not sure what method I should be using.
