Nancy, I concur with Marshall. My father owned a jewellery story, and we would get a few of the 'black ring around the finger' syndrome customers. We never considered it was the silver content but their internal reactions to other metals. Some even did it with gold. 9 carat and 10 ct were not as offensive as 14 ct. 18 ct and 22 ct often solved the problems.
I would look at sugar intake and balances and at wheat consumption and products - it seemed to be a thread in their lifestyles. I would be thankful for the external reaction indicating something else is going on inside, and pay attention to the indicators. Or one could blame the silver. Very odd, cos silver and gold are pretty neutral.

If they are allergic to 14 carat jewelry, than in most cases the allergy is to the copper, not the silver that is in the alloy. If the allergy is topical, then I would use some pure .999 or .9999 silver wire and wrap it around the finger and see if there is a reaction.
