Hypoallergenic jewellery uk: best pieces for sensitive skin

If you have ever experienced itching or a rash where jewellery touches your skin, you know the frustration. The best jewellery for sensitive skin does exist, here is what to look for.

Up to 20% of women experience metal-induced skin reactions, most commonly from nickel, copper, and brass. Nickel allergy affects approximately 15% of UK women. The safest materials: 316L surgical-grade stainless steel (nickel-free, used in medical implants), (+), titanium. PVD-coated stainless steel is also safe because the coating creates a barrier. Always avoid: nickel alloys, uncoated brass, and unspecified "base metal."

What Causes Jewellery Skin Reactions?

Nickel is the primary culprit, found in brass, copper alloys, and some gold alloys. When sweat dissolves trace nickel, it penetrates skin and triggers an immune response. Once a nickel allergy develops, it is typically permanent. This is why choosing the right materials for your necklaces and earrings matters from day one.
