That 'turning green' usually happens only with 'base metals' like iron (including steel), tin, brass, or bronze ... but if you are 'allergic' to rhodium it could turn the area around where it sits on your finger green. Depending on how 'good' (and how expensive) it is, should tell you whether you should take it off whenever you put your hands into water or are cleaning house. To be 'safest' I'd find a good place to 'always put that ring' whenever you do take it off (they actually sell little 'ring holder' figurines in many gift and drug stores) and take it off and put it there when you are taking a bath, doing the housework or 'rinsing' the dishes. Another thing you need to 'think about' ... what kind of 'stone' (if any) does the ring have. My engagement ring is a simple sterling band with a red carnelian in it ... but it doesn't 'look bright red' any more because I NEVER take it off. I'm fine with it looking 'dark, dull red' because it's still my engagement ring, and I wear it with my 'three entwined bands' wedding ring, also sterling, which I've actually had to replace twice due to weight loss and 'general wear' ... but I NEVER take them off and only when I'm replacing one with another if I 'must' take them off.
Generally, sterling silver is like gold (which I am 'allergic to' even though gold is supposedly 'hypoallergenic' ... I can turn green from even 24 carat gold) in that you can always wear it, with no problems ... so it's up to you what you are going to do with this ring ... and also what that ring 'stands for' in your heart. It's your ring, and you'll need to 'decide' on your own what to do ... this is just my 'advice' based on what I know about metals, gemstones, and the way different people can react to them, as well as how they react to different types of chemicals (cleaning fluids, chlorine and acid in pools, etc.)

Not trying to be rude but having it stamped ".925" does not mean that it is the ONLY real sterling silver. Having it stamped .925 means that is it Italian Sterling Silver which is made up of 92.5% Silver (hence the id .925) and the rest is made up of an alloy, usually Copper. Most will use a White Copper nowadays. I make jewelry, and I don't stamp mine .925 because mine is made of ALL Silver. The only one I have seen give a credible answer is queennerd79. He is right. Most times it will not turn your finger green, but occasionally there will be a reaction that will give that green tinge to the skin and cleaning it with a cloth or silver cleaning solution will help. Not saying that your item was or was not real silver. I am just saying that the answers given here are not correct.

No it won't turn your finger green because there are no impure metals in it.
You probably should take it off in water because it might get a little black around the edges if you don't.
You can definitely clean while wearing it.
