The Nickel Problem
Nickel allergy is the most common contact allergy, affecting over 15% of jewelry buyers. Cheap plated alloys are the usual trigger.
Safe Materials Ranked
Implant-grade titanium and niobium are the safest, followed by 316L surgical steel, then 14k and higher solid gold.
Plating Caveat
Gold-plated jewelry is safe only while plating lasts. Once worn through, the base metal touches skin — a hidden allergy risk.
What Sellers Should State
Explicit nickel-free and hypoallergenic labels with material grades convert sensitive-skin shoppers and reduce returns.
