Many people struggle with allergies to jewelry. Usually it is not the metals used for the jewelry itself, but the additives that are used to create the various alloys.

| Allergy to jewelry – it all depends on the right choice |
Inferior alloys in jewelry in combination with the substances and bacteria on the skin cause discolouration from black to green. Some medical professionals even claim that these clues could indicate problems with your metabolism.
According to reliable knowledge, however, in most cases the nickel that is added to the precious metals is to blame. If you have a known allergy to jewelry, you should make sure when buying that it is a nickel-free alloy.
If you want to get your ears pierced, you should always do without costume jewelery in favor of real gold jewelery at the beginning. Experience has shown that the risk of allergies is significantly lower with real gold jewellery.
With an allergy test at the doctor's or at the dermatologist's, the specific substances to which a contact allergy exists can be found out. It takes about half an hour and the costs are covered by health insurance companies.
And anyone who is allergic to many of the additives used in gold jewelery and fashion jewelery there is also offered jewelery made of stainless steel, which only has a low allergy risk, as a viable alternative.
