Meet Platinum: Luxury That Doesn’t Hurt

Gold: A Little Extra, Never Irritating 

For someone who likes their jewelry to be shiny and on point but again cannot wear options regularly available, another champion of hypoallergenic jewelry is the metal gold. You should never have to compromise with plain gold bands or studs for earrings; you can always pair them with lab diamond solitaires for that extra glitter and glam. C’mon…who’s not going to love that idea? 

To be completely filter-free, this metal can come with its own challenges. When gold is pure, it can act as an allergy-free metal, but when it's mixed with other metals and alloys, which it generally is, that’s where things can get tricky.
