The Evolution of Iron Heart

Could this be sweat, oils, etc tarnishing the silver and the green patch is from the chain effectively being polished as you walk? Or maybe some secondary compound is forming from the silver oxide and indigo or dyeing process?
Have you washed these / how does the stain react to water or soap?

A quick Google.....
"A silver alloy is a mixture of pure silver with one or more other metals. They are created to increase the strength of pure silver, which is unsuitable for jewellery due to its soft and malleable nature. The most commonly used silver alloy in jewellery is sterling silver which is composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, such as copper and zinc to increase its durability and resistance to wear and tear."
"Copper will start to react with the oxygen in the air to form copper oxide. The copper oxide will continue reacting to oxygen over time. As the copper oxide continues to react with carbon dioxide and water in the air it coats the surface with that iconic blue-green patina colour."

Thoughts on the torn back pocket? Scruffy looking or adds character?
Don't keep phones with badly smashed screens in your pockets kids!

@T4920 put me down for team character bud! Slightly tattered looks great; just don't get carried away and go rubbing that phone up and down the back of your leg... we don't want to encourage Balenciaga
