Hypoallergenic earrings for allergy sufferers
Nickel-free, skin-friendly & waterproof - ideal for sensitive ears.
Why hypoallergenic earrings are so important for allergy sufferers
Many people are sensitive to jewellery and experience itching, redness, or even inflammation. These reactions are often caused by nickel or inferior coatings. Therefore, choosing the right material is crucial, especially for earrings, which are in direct and prolonged contact with the skin.
Hypoallergenic earrings for allergy sufferers help prevent allergic reactions. They are nickel-free and offer maximum comfort, even for sensitive ears or freshly pierced ears.
Why our earrings are hypoallergenic
Our hypoallergenic earrings were specially developed for people with sensitive skin or jewellery allergies. They are nickel-free, skin-friendly, and ideal for everyday wear – whether showering, swimming, or playing sports.
14k solid gold - nickel-free & skin-friendly
Our earrings are made of solid 14k solid yellow gold or 14k solid white gold (585). This gold alloy contains a high gold content of 58.5% and is therefore hypoallergenic. Gold is one of the most skin-friendly precious metals.
Unlike coated costume jewelry, solid gold earrings do not transfer any allergy-causing substances to the skin. They do not cause skin irritation or discolor the ears.
14k yellow gold
14k yellow gold is one of the most popular alloys in jewellery making. It combines high stability with skin compatibility and is perfect for earrings that are worn every day.
The added precious metals silver and copper give the alloy the necessary hardness without compromising its hypoallergenic properties.
- High gold content
- Durable
- Ideal for everyday use
14k white gold
14k white gold is based on a similar gold alloy to yellow gold, but contains a higher proportion of silver to neutralize the warm yellow tint.
White gold gets its bright silver color from a coating of rhodium or platinum – both high-quality precious metals that are also hypoallergenic. This coating makes the earrings particularly resistant to everyday wear and tear.
- High silver content for bright color
- Rhodium or platinum plating
- Also hypoallergenic
Waterproof earrings - ideal for everyday wear
Our hypoallergenic earrings are not only skin-friendly but also waterproof . Made of solid gold, they won't tarnish or lose their shine, even when in contact with water. This means you don't have to take them off when showering, swimming, or playing sports; you can wear them all day long.
Suitable materials for allergy sufferers
Not every material considered "hypoallergenic" is equally suitable for earrings. Long-term skin compatibility is especially important for earrings worn around the ears.
Gold (14k): the best choice for hypoallergenic earrings
Gold is ideal for prolonged skin contact because it is nickel-free, waterproof, and very durable. It is especially recommended for allergy sufferers and those with sensitive ears.
Titanium & surgical steel: functional alternatives
Titanium and surgical steel are often used for freshly pierced piercings and are also considered hypoallergenic. However, they do not offer the same durability and quality as solid gold.
