Bronze can leave a harmless green mark on skin
It comes from the metal reacting with your skin’s natural oils and moisture. How much it shows varies from person to person.
A thin coat of clear nail polish inside the band helps reduce it.

In the heart of ancient Rome, there existed a legendary legion known as "Legio SPQR XVII," one of the many elite units that defended the mighty Roman Empire. This legion was not just a formidable force on the battlefield; it was a symbol of unwavering loyalty and resilience.
Under the command of their fearless leader, General Lucius Decimus, Legio SPQR XVII was tasked with safeguarding the vast borders of the empire from external threats. They were known for their unparalleled discipline and unmatched combat skills, earning them the reputation as the "Shield of Rome."
One fateful day, a formidable enemy, a coalition of barbarian tribes, began a relentless assault on the northern frontier of the empire. Their sheer numbers and ferocity threatened to breach the Roman defenses. The fate of Rome hung in the balance.
General Decimus and his legion, with their backs against the mighty Danube River, stood as the last line of defense. They knew that retreating would mean the fall of Rome, and surrender was not an option. Instead, they chose to stand firm, their shields forming an unbreakable barrier against the relentless tide of barbarians.
For days, they endured the brutal siege, displaying unparalleled bravery and unwavering loyalty to the empire. With each passing day, their reputation as the "Shield of Rome" only grew stronger. Their heroic sacrifice inspired neighboring legions, and reinforcements arrived just in time to push back the barbarians.
The victory was a testament to the indomitable spirit of Legio SPQR XVII and the unwavering commitment of its soldiers. General Decimus, battered but triumphant, led his legion back to Rome as heroes. They were hailed as saviors, and their legacy as the "Shield of Rome" lived on for generations.
Today, the memory of Legio SPQR XVII stands as a symbol of the Roman spirit, reminding the world that in the face of adversity, unity, bravery, and unwavering loyalty can conquer even the greatest challenges.
