Jewelry allergy: find out how to avoid it

The allergy generally occurs after repeated exposure to elements containing nickel. Nickel is present in the vast majority of metal alloys for the manufacture of jewelry, but also in eyeglass frames, zippers, belts, mobile phones, coins and other everyday items with which we come into contact every day. The problem is that when the allergy has already manifested itself, the skin is increasingly sensitive to nickel, so contact with it should be avoided.

There is no remedy to cure allergies, although there are drugs that reduce irritation. For this reason, it is recommended to wear jewelry that does not contain nickel in its composition. So if you suffer from a 'jewelry allergy' and on the recommendation of the prestigious Mayo Clinic, you should wear HYPOALLERGENIC JEWELRY.

Hypoallergenic jewelry is made of nickel-free stainless steel, the same steel used by doctors in their operations or also used in all types of implants. It is the so-called 'surgical steel' . Its low reactivity is one of the factors why it is currently used in jewelry, but it is not the only reason: surgical steel is extremely durable, very resistant to external agents, it is economical and its maintenance is simple, it requires practically no care. .

For very sensitive skin, it is recommended to use surgical steel in its original color, that is, silver, which has the lowest reactivity. For this reason, it is the steel that is used in the first insertion of earrings or in piercings. Gold or rose gold-colored steel jewelry has gold plating.
