What does nickel-free mean for jewelry?
Quick answer:
Nickel-free = no nickel in the alloy – important for allergy sufferers. Titanium and platinum are the safest choice; for gold, inquire about nickel-free options.
Nickel-free means that a jewelry alloy does not contain nickel – important for people with nickel allergies who develop redness, itching, or blistering upon skin contact with nickel. Nickel is the most common contact allergen in Europe.
What materials are nickel-free?
- Titanium: 100% nickel-free – most hypoallergenic option
- Platinum (PT950): Nickel-free
- 14K Gold (nickel-free alloy): Inquire with the buyer
- 925 Sterling Silver: Usually nickel-free
- Stainless Steel 316L: Nickel content is bound – tolerated by most people
What to buy if you have a nickel allergy?
Titanium or platinum as a first choice. For gold: explicitly inquire about nickel-freeness and have it confirmed in the product data sheet. Avoid gold-plated jewelry on a brass basis – the base metal may contain nickel.
