Jewelry for Sensitive Skin: Hypoallergenic Metals Explained

Finding jewelry that won't irritate sensitive skin can be challenging. If you've ever experienced redness, itching, or discomfort from wearing certain pieces, you're not alone—approximately 30% of people have metal sensitivities.

The good news? With the right hypoallergenic metals, you can enjoy beautiful jewelry without the irritation.

What Makes Jewelry Hypoallergenic?

Hypoallergenic jewelry is made from metals that are less likely to cause allergic reactions. The most common culprit behind jewelry allergies is nickel, a metal often used in costume jewelry and lower-quality pieces.

True hypoallergenic jewelry uses metals that are either nickel-free or have such minimal nickel content that they won't trigger a reaction.

Best Hypoallergenic Metals for Sensitive Skin
