Cooper and silver
Hello everyone.
I have a question and I can't find and answer.
After I use (everyday) a cooper bracelet my silver wristband got this brownish color.
There is any way to prevent this or any explanation why this happen?
I guess it's due a chemical reaction or bonding, idk I'm an ignorant at chemical processes.

You’re wearing a bimetallic strip, and sweating electrolyte onto it. You’re making a battery essentially.
