Jewelry can be made of many different materials, but they are not all created equal. If you’re looking for a skin safe or sensitive skin option, nickel free jewelry is the way to go. However, what does nickel-free really mean?
Nickel is in a majority of metal items we use because it is inexpensive and adds durability as well as luster to other metals. Many base metals of jewelry can contain nickel which could make your skin react negatively. The main reasons why people choose nickel-free jewelry is because they have a skin allergy or sensitivity. This is when your skin get irritated when it comes into contact with metal that contains nickel, but not everyone has it! If you do, there are plenty of options for safe ‘nickel free’ metal types such as surgical grade, stainless steel, 14k Gold, 18k Gold, and 24k Gold. Sticking with these will help avoid any skin sensitivities you may have as you are less likely to have a reaction.
