Cliptomania.com knows there are many people with mildly to moderately “sensitive ears” due to an allergic reaction to nickel commonly found in earrings. “Nickel Free” clip-on earrings prove an comfortable, affordable alternative to wearing regular earrings.
Many of the alloys used in jewelry contain nickel. What is nickel? Nickel is a chemical element, pre-eminently an alloy metal, used in many other alloys, such as nickel brasses and bronzes, and alloys with copper, chromium, aluminum, lead, cobalt, silver, and gold.1 All metals contain nickel, at least as impurities.2 Fifteen percent of the population experiences an allergic reaction to nickel. These sensitized individuals may show an allergy to nickel affecting their skin, known as dermatitis. Sensitivity to nickel may also be present in patients with pompholyx. The reaction is not to the nickel itself, but the metallic salts that are created when the metal comes into contact with perspiration. Nickel allergies affecting ears are often marked by itchy, red skin. Many earrings are now made nickel-free due to this problem3 allowing those who experience this sensitivity to comfortably wear jewelry again.
With this in mind, Cliptomania.com continues to offer an ever increasing line of Nickel-Free clip on earrings, as well as the best variety of non-pierced hoops, gold, sterling silver, bold, designer, and lead-compliant earrings for children over the age of four. In fact, Cliptomania.com recently released a press release announcing that it paired with one of its manufacturers to have a beautiful, exclusively made, faceted CZ clip-on button earring that is also nickel-free. A square, faceted CZ is set in a golden band and then set in a deep rhodium-plated square that has been antiqued to highlight its ornate design. It is available in popular diamond colors of warm brown, dark brown, yellow and clear. Certainly a beautiful addition to an already attractive line of non pierced, nickel-free earrings.
Cliptomania.com notes that it should be kept in mind that nickel’s presence strengthens the metal. Nickel Free earrings are more delicate than common jewelry and should be cared for accordingly.
