    Default Faulty finishing?

    I made and sent an order of two hammered finish rings in sterling silver to a customer about 6 weeks ago. One ring 2mm wide one 3.5mm wide.

    They left me a nice review so the rings must have arrived in a good condition. I use luxi white polishing compound for my final polish and am usually very careful to clean off all the polish before packaging but sometimes a slight residue can come off on the finger but not to the extent in the picture.

    Today the customer sent me pictures of the ring with black discoloration around the inside edge. They said they had only worn the ring for a few days as have just got married. No problem with the wider ring. I replied asking if it has come in contact with any chemicals, perfumes etc. They said no and believe the finishing of the ring to be faulty.
    I have offered to send them a free silver polishing cloth. They wish to return the ring so I can make a replacement, I would not make this any differently.

    Any ideas what might have caused this?

    (Sorry for the poor quality photos.)

    I did melt down and recast the silver for both these rings and am now doubting myself that this might be the cause?

    Any thoughts much appreciated!
