The original poster of this video had creepy music and sounds on. Not on mine, instead you listen to "Fade To Black" by Metallica. The song is about suicide; an issue mentioned in the original poster's description. After you hear James sing "goodbye"(or at the very end of the clip), close your eyes and up to the ceiling/light. Maybe even quickly shift your gaze to a blank white sheet of paper. What do you see? On a side note, the original poster confirmed on his/her comments board of the video that he/she made up the suicide story. Therefore this is just a portrait made by somebody without intention of suicide. And no, by watching this you will not want to commit suicide, something the original poster said. It's just a thing to look at for the fun of it. I myself have noticed changes in the portrait, but that's really just the eyes playing a trick on you. Its actually a cool observation. I just found the site where the picture is actually located. You can find out the artist's explanation here: www.ethereality.info Then go to the "Portraits & Drawings" tab, then look under "Illustrations." Direct Link to Portrait: www.ethereality.info I just got a new idea. Seeing as to how there's another image of this girl there with jewelry added on, I'm gonna do another video with that image. Let's see if the jewelry alters the illusion. Music download link in MP3 format: www.mediafire.com Music download link in WMA format: www.mediafire.comDisclaimer: All copyrights and trademarks ...

Allergic Reaction to Nickel Alloyed White Gold Jewelry
White gold is routinely alloyed down with nickel. Nickel causes allergic reactions in a lot of people.
It's probably showing up now, because your ring was plated in rhodium (the whitest member of the platinum family) when you bought it. This is normal, as white gold always has a limited warmth to it, so it is practically always plated in rhodium.
The rhodium has worn off. The white gold, alloyed with nickel is in direct taste with your skin. You are reacting to the nickel. One easy explication is to bring the ring in to the jeweler where you purchased it and have it replated with rhodium. Or, you could trade the ring in for a white gold ring that does Not include nickel, a palladium ring or a platinum ring.
The metal rhodium is essentially inert to the skin, hypoallergenic, no reaction. What the reaction could be is a basic metals reaction and that Should Not be happening if the rings have a real rhodium plate.
My suggestion? taste Qvc and tell them of the problem. They should whether give your money back or replace the item with one with a real rhodium plate!
Green is a reaction commonly to base metals, such as copper, etc., which are whether preplate(done beneath the rhodium on metals like silver) or part of the the meatal alloy the ring is made of.
Either the plate is not rhodium or is a poor job at plating. Qvc owes you an write back on this one and your may use my write back when you taste them if you want.
Without looking the ring and truly examining it, I can say limited about the ring itself.
"Temporary Fix. Recommended for you to Try:
Rhodium is a hard and durable white metal. Most white gold is given a quick plated layer of rhodium when brand new or when repaired.
This thin layer of rhodium gives the metal a whiter look. Rhodium is also a metal that does not react with the skin. A local jeweler should truly be able to refinish, buff up nicely and rhodium plate your ring. The look is good. The advantage to you is the rhodium provided a protection layer between the nickel in the ring and your sensitive skin! The rhodium works very well when the plating is done correctly. You can expect the rhodium to wear off in time but you should get 6mos to a year of wear before the ring should be plated with rhodium again. We often do this aid for ladies who love white gold earrings but have problems. With yellow gold problems, we plate the parts touching the skin and it works until the rhodium at last wears away."
Is your ring white gold? If so, the rhodium plating by a local jeweler should ease the question immensely and the surface will last a fair estimate of time before redoing is needed. If the ring is yellow, there are likely environmental issues here, together with swimming pool chemicals and salty air(if living near the ocean).
Chemicals will often build up in a limited way and lead to skin reactions or smudges. Salty air can lead to a build up of residue which will cause smudges or even some sensitive skin reactions. For yellow gold, the explication is difficult but involves whether avoiding the environmental issues or cleaning the ring quite often(every integrate of days) with a good diplomatic scrub with a diplomatic dish detergent and rinsing well.
