Jewelry For Sensitive Skin
Best Types of Jewelry for Sensitive Skin
Sensitivities to certain metals used commonly in fashion and bridal jewelry can make accessorizing uncomfortable and, in some cases, even painful. Luckily, innovations in allergy sciences and the jewelry-making industry have allowed for various jewelry types that can prevent irritation and adverse reactions. A few types of jewelry that people with such sensitivities should seek out are rhodium-plated sterling silver, nickel-free sterling silver, and platinum. Platinum is one of the more expensive metals on the spectrum of fashion and bridal jewelry, but the other types are affordable without forfeiting any shine.
Jewelry Types to Avoid
Though many allergies to different types of metal exist, the most common is a nickel allergy. Nickel is a naturally occurring, silvery metal that is markedly resistant to corrosion and oxidation and is also quite strong. For these reasons, it is commonly added to metals like pure gold and silver to create a stronger alloy that can be used for jewelry, as these elements are naturally soft. The lower the concentration of nickel in a piece of jewelry, the less likely you will have an adverse reaction. Low-grade costume jewelry, for instance, contains large amounts of nickel and should be avoided.
