Pure silver is naturally hypoallergenic. Sterling silver is an alloy composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. It is not known to cause metal allergies, so it’s considered among the safest materials for people who are susceptible to contact dermatitis. In most cases, when someone has a sterling silver allergy, they’re not actually allergic to the silver itself, but to Nickel, which is sometimes used in sterling silver because it looks nearly identical, helping it maintain that unique sheen and polish. Our silver is Nickel free, but may contain trace amounts that rarely cause allergies Additionally, we offer hypoallergenic options, such as sterling silver jewelry with a rhodium plating, to provide an extra layer of protection for sensitive skin.
