If you’re one of those people whose sensitive skin has allergic reactions to a type of metal, you may not be able to wear as many pairs of earrings as you want to. If the skin around your piercings gets itchy with certain types of earrings, you have to take extra care when it comes to choosing your jewellery. Your ears are sensitive to a particular type of metal, and the common culprit is nickel, which unfortunately is present in many of the alloys used in creating jewellery pieces.
When looking for allergy free earrings, you will find that some earrings come with ‘hypoallergenic’ and ‘nickel free’ written on the label. Those are the pieces you should shop for. Instead of nickel, these earrings are composed of materials like sterling silver.
Silver alone is hypoallergenic, but it’s too soft for jewellery use. Thus, the need for it to be alloyed. To come up with a harder metal, pure silver is mixed with other metals, and the result is sterling silver.
Being made of sterling silver doesn’t make the earrings hypoallergenic and free of nickel. It also depends on the other metal mixed in to create the piece. Corazon Latino mixes the silver with pearls, semi-precious gemstones, or Baltic amber.
