Which metal is best for sensitive skin?

1 min read
Quick answer: Best metals for sensitive skin: 1. Titanium, 2. Platinum, 3. Real gold (nickel-free). Avoid fashion jewelry made of brass if you have a nickel allergy.

Titanium is the most hypoallergenic jewelry metal – 100% nickel-free and, in its pure form, absolutely well-tolerated by every skin. This is followed by platinum and high-carat gold alloys without nickel.

Ranking by Skin Compatibility

  • 1. Titanium: 100% nickel-free, lightweight, affordable – best choice for piercings and earrings
  • 2. Platinum (PT950): Nickel-free, very dense, natural white – for rings and permanent jewelry
  • 3. 750 Gold (nickel-free): Very well tolerated if the alloy is nickel-free
  • 4. 585 Gold (nickel-free): Likewise, if the alloy is nickel-free
  • 5. 925 Sterling Silver: Usually nickel-free – sometimes causes reactions in very sensitive individuals

What to avoid with a nickel allergy

  • Inexpensive costume jewelry based on brass
  • White gold without an explicit nickel-free statement
  • Gold-plated jewelry on an unknown base metal
