Solid 925 sterling silver can sometimes cause a green discoloration on the skin, but this is not due to the silver itself turning green. The green color often results from a reaction between the copper content in the sterling silver (which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper) and factors like moisture, cosmetics, or skin acidity, leading to the formation of copper salts.
