Jewelry for Pregnant Women: What Is Safe to Wear?

Jewelry During Pregnancy: What's Safe?

During pregnancy, the body changes – and this also affects what jewelry pregnant women can safely wear. From swelling to changes in sensitivity: we explain what to look out for.

Rings and Swelling

In the second and third trimesters, many women experience swelling, especially in their hands and feet. Rings can then become too tight – this is a common problem.

• Prevention: Remove rings early if they feel tighter
• Alternative: Silicone ring as a substitute for a wedding ring – flexible, safe, affordable
• Storage: Safely store wedding and engagement rings for the last few weeks

Necklaces and Pendants

Necklaces can be worn without problems during pregnancy – as long as the clasp is in perfect condition and there are no allergies. Very long necklaces that hang low can be impractical when bending over.

Materials and Allergies

Pregnancy hormones can make the skin more sensitive. Women who previously did not have a nickel allergy may suddenly react to nickel-containing alloys during pregnancy. If irritation occurs, switch to:

• 18K gold (higher gold content, less alloy metal)
• 925 sterling silver (mostly nickel-free)
• Titanium (hypoallergenic)

Piercings During Pregnancy

• New piercings during pregnancy: Not recommended (increased risk of infection)
• Existing belly button piercings: Replace with flexible PTFE bars in the 2nd trimester
• Ear piercings: No problem if well-healed

Beautiful Pregnancy Jewelry

Many pregnant women buy a special piece of jewelry as a keepsake of their pregnancy: a ring they wear for the entire period, or a necklace with the unborn child's birthstone (once the month is known).
