Best Earrings For Sensitive Ears - Happy Skin, Happy You

Having sensitive ears is a common complaint. Luckily, you can still wear beautiful earrings if you have sensitive skin. This guide will tell you which materials you can wear and which materials to avoid. We're also revealing our favourite hypoallergenic jewellery brand.

What does hypoallergenic mean?

Hypoallergenic jewellery is made with metals and materials that are nickel-free. This means it is perfect for people with sensitive skin or allergies to nickel.

How do you know if you need hypoallergenic earrings?

If you notice that the skin around the piercing in your ear is irritable while wearing or shortly after wearing earrings, it's likely that you have sensitive skin. Signs of irritation can include redness, dry or sore skin, itchiness, skin discolouration, or even pain when removing earrings or putting them on. 

Which materials are suitable for sensitive ears?

The best earrings for sensitive ears include those crafted from:

• Zamak
• Platinum
• Palladium
• Stainless steel
• Titanium
• 925 sterling silver
• 14ct - 22ct gold.

Which materials should you avoid?

If you have sensitive skin and react to certain jewellery items, it's likely that you are intolerant to nickel. Nickel is present in some metal jewellery items. It's best to avoid a lower-carat gold (less than 12 carats).
