Material
Vermeil is a special type of gilding in which gold is applied to silver. In most cases, vermeil is hypoallergenic and less likely to cause a contact allergy compared to gold-plated jewelry based on base metals such as copper or nickel. The gold layer in vermeil jewelry is usually thicker and made of high quality gold.
However, it is important to note that people react differently to different materials. Some people may be sensitive to certain metals, including gold, even vermeil.
It is always recommended to check the jewelry before wearing, especially if you have previous experience with contact allergies. If there is any uncertainty or skin irritation occurs, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist or allergist to determine the exact cause and discuss appropriate jewelry options.
Silver can trigger a contact allergy in some people. The allergic reaction to silver is often caused by an oxidation reaction where silver comes into contact with substances such as sweat, cosmetics or cleaning products. This can lead to skin irritation known as contact dermatitis.
Symptoms of a silver allergy can include redness, itching, swelling and rash. People with sensitive skin or pre-existing allergies may be more susceptible to a silver allergy.
To avoid or reduce a silver allergy, it is also important to clean jewelry regularly to minimize contact with harmful substances.
If you already notice signs of an allergic reaction to silver, it would be advisable to see a dermatologist or allergist to determine the exact cause and discuss appropriate measures.
Sterling silver is an alloy composed of silver and other metals to improve hardness and durability. Our sterling silver is made up of approximately 95.4% pure silver and 4.6% other metals such as copper, zinc and tin.
The inclusion of copper in the alloy plays a crucial role in providing the necessary strength and durability, as pure silver alone is too soft for many jewelry applications. However, it is important to note that the addition of copper may cause allergic reactions in some people.
