How can you tell if a piece of jewelry is hypoallergenic?

Hypoallergenic jewelries are usually composed of alloys free of nickel, titanium, or stainless steel. To guarantee that the jewelries are hypoallergenic, check for labels or product descriptions that specify these materials. Consider conducting a patch test, where you wear the jewelry for a brief amount of time to determine how your skin reacts, if you've previously experienced allergic reactions.

Can you wear hypoallergenic jewelry in the shower or while swimming?

While some hypoallergenic materials like stainless steel and titanium are water-resistant, it's generally a good idea to remove jewelry before showering or swimming to maintain its appearance and longevity.

Is stainless steel hypoallergenic?

Absolutely, most stainless steel used in jewelry, like surgical-grade stainless steel (such as 316L), is considered hypoallergenic. It is resistant to tarnish and corrosion, making it a durable choice for sensitive skin. Ithaca Jewelry uses the 316L stainless steel materials for all the jewelry pieces.

Are gold filled and plated jewelry hypoallergenic?

One of the most common questions people have about gold filled and gold plated earrings is whether they are hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic jewelry is designed to minimize the risk of an allergic reaction, particularly for those with sensitive skin.

Gold filled jewelries are hypoallergenic due to their construction, which features a thick layer of gold, comprising at least 5% of the total weight. the durable nature of the gold filled layer ensures that it remains intact over time, providing long-lasting jewelry.

Gold plated jewelry features a base metal with a thin layer of gold. Opting for high-quality gold plated jewelry with a thicker gold coating can reduce the exposure of your skin to the base metal. It's important to pay attention to how your body reacts and select a jewelry that suit you best.

What metal is 100% hypoallergenic?

No metal is truly 100% hypoallergenic as individual sensitivities can vary. However, several metals like stainless steel, titanium, or platinum are widely recognized as being highly hypoallergenic and are generally safe for most people, especially those with sensitive skin.
