Discover Hypoallergenic Jewelry Where Metal Feels Like Magic

It’s always important to understand that glowing up with glimmering jewelry can come with a cost if you’re someone who is allergic to certain types of metals. Hypoallergenic jewelry is clearly the answer to a full glam-up for those with sensitive skin. "Hypoallergenic" simply means metals that won't cause an allergy, redness, itch, or a rash on your skin. 

At Friendly Diamonds, we strive for you to glow with our jewelry without having to worry about your beauty or comfort. Every piece is curated with love, artistry, and care for your sensitive skin. Learn more about which specific metals are anti-allergenic for your sensitive skin in this blog

The Hidden Culprits of Jewelry Allergies 

If you love wearing diamond bling but have super sensitive skin, this information is for you. All you need to know is the metal composition of your jewelry; the root cause of your troubles is certain kinds of elements and alloys that are mixed in your diamond jewelry metal.

Avoid jewelry that is mixed with cobalt, chromium, or brass, and mainly it must be completely nickel-free. Almost 15% of Americans are allergic to nickel, women more often than men; hence, avoiding this metal is key to having rash-free, smooth skin. 

Choosing Metals That Bring Peace Not Irritation

We talked about all the components that make your jewelry your enemy; here’s your solution to healthy, smooth skin. At Friendly Diamonds, you can check jewelry in multiple metals, the same style, setting, and diamond, only in the metal of your choosing. A couple of metals that can be made into hypoallergenic jewelry are platinum and 18kt yellow gold. 

Platinum is naturally strong and completely nickel-free as a metal; it is durable and can be used regularly to help you wear jewelry daily without having any allergic reaction. If you’re into white undertones in your jewelry, platinum is a great option for you to make your sparkles shine in.

With 18kt yellow gold, on the other hand, the purer the gold, the higher its hypoallergenic properties. At Friendly Diamonds we use high-quality gold mixed with alloys like silver, zinc, and minimal copper to add sturdiness to the metal. If you’re someone who likes yellow in their jewels, then 18kt yellow gold is your perfect choice for an anti-allergenic metal. 

Caring for Your Hypoallergenic Jewelry That Cares for You

If the jewels you buy are high-end quality, they surely require your care and love for a long-lasting journey with you. Although platinum is a durable and resistant metal, cleaning it every now and then to avoid accumulated oil, dirt, or sweat can help avoid irritation. If you don’t wear your bling regularly, storing it in a nice box can also help keep your jewelry safe for a long time. Handle your lab-grown diamond jewelry with care to avoid snagging or pulling of your diamond or scratches on the metal.
