Allergic to fake Jewelry?

Question

Does anyone know the cause of one being allergic to fake Jewelry? Is there something in the actual Jewelry that causes the reaction? When I got piercings and I have had in total quite a bit, I have never had a problem but if I was to go to a store and get some nice earrings with fake post or something I would get a reaction to them.

I really want to wear different types of earrings but I need to get to the source of this problem. Another thing is that I am having a hard time finding real gold post. I live in New York City, anyone got any suggestions for that too?

Thanks

Answer 1

The nickle content in the jewelry causes allergies.



Jewelry cannot be made from real gold (24 kt gold). Gold have to mix with some kind of metal to create an alloy because real gold is too soft to be made into jewelry. You can try getting 18 kt gold jewelry.



You're allergic to the nickle content in cheap jewelry. Your ears are sensitive. Try finding hypoallergenic earrings; they're for sensitive ears. You can find them at Macy's, Target, Icing by Claire's, Claire's, Wal- Mart, and Dillards. Looks for the label "hypoallergenic", "nickel - free" or "For sensitive ears" on a package of earrings. Those types of earrings won't irritate your ears.



You can also find some earrings based on their metal content. Earrings made from sterling silver, 18 karat gold, surgical steel, rhodium and titanium jewelry are all safe for sensitive ears.

the female with the midsection is robust. many times the metallic that faux jewelry is made up of is what motives issues. I additionally am allergic to faux jewelry. Claires has a area with nickle loose hypoallergenic jewelry that's useful for persons like us. Many branch shops carry this type of jewellery besides. good success!

It's usually the nickel in cheap jewelry that people have issues with. Steel or titanium shouldn't give you issues (and they're both cheaper & sturdier than gold is).
