Whether you're sensitive to metal or have a more serious allergy with earrings that can cause pain, we've got you covered. If you have sensitive skin, you know how difficult it can be to find jewelry that doesn't irritate.
If you're having trouble finding earrings for sensitive skin, this article is for you. Read on to find adorable earrings for sensitive ears.
How can I choose the best earrings for sensitive skin?
First, look for earrings that are made from hypoallergenic materials. This includes sterling silver, rhodium, medical grade titanium, solid gold, and medical grade stainless steel. Wearing earrings made of these materials helps to avoid irritation and other reactions that can happen when your skin comes in contact with certain metals.
Then, make sure the posts of the earrings are smooth and comfortable. This will help reduce any irritation that can occur from rubbing against your skin as you wear them.
Types of Hypoallergenic Earrings
Sterling Silver Earrings
Sterling silver is a metal alloy made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. It's a hypoallergenic jewelry material that won't irritate your skin. Sterling silver is easy on the ears, so these earrings are a great option for everyday wear.
Important: Some sterling silver pieces can contain nickel or nickel oxide, so be sure to check that your earrings are nickel free.
Rhodium Earrings
Rhodium is a metal that's been used in fine jewelry-making for centuries. This material is not only skin friendly but also incredibly durable and affordable. You can wear your rhodium earrings for months or years, and still be able to enjoy them as much as the day you bought them.
Gold Earrings
For people with a nickel allergy, gold is one of the most popular choices because of its natural beauty and soft texture. This soft metal has been prized for its beauty for thousands of years, and it is malleable enough that it can be shaped and molded into jewelry without losing its luster or becoming brittle.
Gold earrings are available in every shape: hoop earrings, studs, dangle earrings and more. They're a great addition to turn any simple outfit into an outstanding one. Gold is usually alloyed with other materials, so it's essential to check that any gold earrings you buy are marked "pure gold.". If you can not find an affordable “pure gold” option, you can choose rose gold, as it combines two hypoallergenic materials: pure gold and copper.
Medical Grade Titanium Earrings
Titanium is another metal that's been used for centuries to make jewelry. It's resistant to corrosion and oxidation, meaning that it won't tarnish or change color over time. It's hypoallergenic and non-reactive, so it won't irritate sensitive ears.
