Alecia is a very protective mom, the kind
of 5 foot “Mama Bear” that shields her baby, Melissa, from everything. For
instance, when she got Melissa’s ears pierced, she checked that the person had
great reviews, made sure everything was sterile and scrutinized every detail of
the procedure.
What she had no way of knowing, and
couldn’t protect her baby from, was an allergic reaction to the metal in the
earrings. After wearing them for only a few hours, the baby’s ears became inflamed, and she was pulling at them, with big
tears streaming down her face.
At first, Alecia thought there was an
infection. But, after an expensive trip to her doctor, she found out that the
painful rash was Contact Dermatitis. The nickel in the earring metal created an
allergic reaction. It’s one of the most common metals in jewelry and clothing.
It’s in everything from zippers and eyeglasses to jean buttons and hairpins.
Alecia’s doctor told her to buy only
hypoallergenic earrings.
What is Hypoallergenic?
Hypoallergenic jewelry means that there is
minimal risk of causing an allergic reaction. Most hypoallergic jewelry contains
pure metals such as platinum, gold, titanium, copper, and stainless steel, fine
silver, and sterling silver. However, softer metals like gold and silver will
have other metals alloyed with them or plated over a stronger base metal. These
types of jewelry are suitable for those who experience allergic reactions to
nickel. The safest alternative to metal is medical-grade plastic earrings and
keeping your ski safe is just one of the reasons to wear hypoallergenic
jewelry.
5 Reasons to Wear Hypoallergenic Earrings
1.Minimal Risk of an Allergy
Typically,
hypoallergenic earrings use much less nickel than other alloys. They will plate
the base metal with a pure metal like gold or silver to cover any part of the
jewelry that contacts the skin.
2.Artisan Quality
Just because
jewelry is hypoallergenic doesn’t mean it’s not pretty. The same care and
artistic craftsmanship go into the design and manufacturing of each piece.
3.Better Grades of Metal
Hypoallergenic
jewelry will usually contain more of the precious metal and less of the base,
inexpensive alloys. Sterling silver, gold, titanium, platinum and copper alone
or alloyed in combinations without nickel create beautiful jewelry without
causing allergies.
4.Keep Your Ears Looking Pretty
Contact
dermatitis from nickel causes painful, itchy red ears. In some cases, ugly
blisters can form that take days to go away.
By wearing only
hypoallergenic earrings, you minimize chances of red swollen ear lobes. With
the right sparkle and design, you enhance your beautiful ears.
5.Plenty of Options
Almost 17% of
women and girls suffer from an allergy to nickel or other metal. Jewelry
manufacturers are well aware of this, resulting in more options for
hypoallergenic jewelry than ever. There is no shortage of top designers who create
stunning hypoallergenic earrings and other accessories from which to choose.
What’s Safer than Hypoallergenic Jewelry?
You should know that in some cases, you can
still have an allergic reaction from hypoallergenic jewelry. Hypoallergenic
means the item or product has a “minimal” chance of causing an allergy. For
example, hypoallergenic stainless-steel jewelry may contain trace amounts of
nickel, enough to cause a problem in some people.

your earrings are Blomdahl USA’s medical-grade
