Our vision is that everyone, regardless of allergy, should be able to express and adorn themselves with jewellery. Therefore, it is important to us that all our jewelry is kind to sensitive skin or allergies.
For a person with sensitive skin, it is important to choose jewelry with the right material to avoid irritation and discomfort. But it is not always easy to know which materials are available and suitable.
Therefore, we have made a list of materials available that are gentle on the skin:
-
Titanium : Titanium is a non-allergenic material that is very durable and lightweight. Jewelry made from pure titanium is usually well tolerated by people with sensitive skin.

Pure silver: Genuine silver is usually not allergenic, but some people may be sensitive to certain alloys used to make sterling silver. Be sure to choose jewelry marked "925 Sterling Silver" to be sure it is made of pure silver.
-
Pure gold: Real gold of 14k or higher karat is usually safe for people with sensitive skin. Be sure to avoid jewelry that contains nickel, which can cause allergic reactions in some people.
-
Platinum: is a precious metal that is very pure and rarely causes allergic reactions. It is an excellent choice for people with very sensitive skin.
-
Teflon or plastic coated jewelry: For earrings and body jewelry, jewelry with a Teflon or plastic coating can be a good option to avoid direct contact with metals that can cause irritation.
-
Natural materials: Natural materials such as wood, glass, ceramics and stones can also be good options for people with sensitive skin, especially if they are sanded smoothly enough and not treated with chemicals or lacquers.

It is important to remember that although some materials are less likely to cause allergic reactions, people's allergies can vary. It's always best to test jewelry for a short period to see if it causes any reactions before wearing it regularly. If you are unsure about which materials are best for your skin, it is best to consult an allergy doctor or dermatologist for recommendations.
