About Hypoallergenic Earrings

What to look for if your ears react

Check the post, not just the front. A plated or brass post sits inside the piercing all day, so a solid silver post matters most. Some silver styles carry rhodium or gold plating for color, and plating can wear with friction over time. Sterling silver can darken over time; wipe it with a silver polishing cloth and store each pair in a closed pouch.

Pierced or no piercing

If a healed piercing still itches with new earrings, the metal is the usual suspect, and solid silver studs are a good next pair. If the piercing itself keeps reacting, magnetic studs let you wear earrings without anything in the hole; the method is in our sensitive ears guide.

Collection FAQs

What metals are used in these hypoallergenic earrings?

We use only 316L stainless steel and stamped 925 sterling silver—both are nickel-free by composition or locked in the alloy, so they won’t cause reactions.

Are these earrings safe for a nickel allergy?

Yes, both metals keep nickel away from your skin. Stainless steel passes EU release limits, and sterling silver is nickel-free by composition.

How do I care for sterling silver earrings from this collection?

Sterling silver darkens slowly; wipe it clean with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, and store in a dry place to keep it looking its best.

Can I wear these earrings if my piercing is still healing?

If your healed piercing still itches, steel or silver studs fix it. For unhealed or reacting piercings, we offer magnetic studs in the same metals so you can wear earrings without anything in the hole.
