What are hypoallergenic earrings made of?

Hypoallergenic earrings are made from skin-friendly metals that are unlikely to cause reactions, such as nickel-free sterling silver, surgical stainless steel, titanium, and quality gold plating over nickel-free bases. Our styles use nickel-free materials chosen to be gentle on sensitive ears.

What is the most hypoallergenic metal for earrings?

Titanium and medical-grade stainless steel are among the most hypoallergenic, with nickel-free sterling silver and solid gold also being very gentle. The key is avoiding nickel, which is the most common cause of irritation. Each product page lists the metal so you can choose with confidence.

Are hypoallergenic earrings nickel free?

Truly hypoallergenic earrings should be nickel-free, since nickel is the most common trigger for sensitive ears. Our hypoallergenic styles are made on nickel-free bases, so they are designed to be worn comfortably every day, even by people with reactive skin.

Will hypoallergenic earrings turn my ears green or irritate them?

Quality hypoallergenic earrings should not turn ears green, since that usually comes from nickel or copper reacting with skin. Keeping earrings and piercings clean and dry further reduces any irritation. If your ears are very sensitive, sterling silver and titanium are safe choices.

Are these earrings safe for newly pierced or sensitive ears?

Our hypoallergenic, nickel-free studs and huggies are gentle enough for sensitive ears and everyday wear. For brand new piercings, follow your piercer's aftercare and timing advice first. Once healed, lightweight hypoallergenic styles are comfortable for all-day wear.
