Material
Vermeil ist eine spezielle Art der Vergoldung, bei der Gold auf Silber aufgetragen wird. In den meisten Fällen ist Vermeil hypoallergen und weniger wahrscheinlich, eine Kontaktallergie auszulösen, verglichen mit vergoldetem Schmuck, der auf Basismetallen wie Kupfer oder Nickel basiert. Die Goldschicht beim Vermeil-Schmuck ist in der Regel dicker und besteht aus hochwertigem Gold.
Allerdings ist es wichtig zu beachten, dass Menschen unterschiedlich auf verschiedene Materialien reagieren. Einige Menschen können empfindlich auf bestimmte Metalle, einschließlich Gold, reagieren, selbst wenn es sich um Vermeil handelt.
Es ist immer empfehlenswert, den Schmuck vor dem Tragen zu überprüfen, insbesondere wenn Sie bereits Erfahrungen mit Kontaktallergien gemacht haben. Wenn Unsicherheiten bestehen oder Hautirritationen auftreten, wäre es ratsam, einen Dermatologen oder Allergologen aufzusuchen, um die genaue Ursache zu ermitteln und geeignete Schmuckoptionen zu besprechen.
Silber kann bei manchen Menschen eine Kontaktallergie auslösen. Die allergische Reaktion auf Silber wird oft durch eine Oxidationsreaktion verursacht, bei der Silber mit Substanzen wie Schweiß, Kosmetika oder Reinigungsmitteln in Kontakt kommt. Dies kann zu Hautirritationen führen, die als Kontaktdermatitis bekannt sind.
Die Symptome einer Silberallergie können Rötung, Juckreiz, Schwellungen und Hautausschlag umfassen. Menschen mit empfindlicher Haut oder bereits bestehenden Allergien können anfälliger für eine Silberallergie sein.
Um eine Silberallergie zu vermeiden oder zu reduzieren, ist es auch wichtig, den Schmuck regelmäßig zu reinigen, um den Kontakt mit schädlichen Substanzen zu minimieren.
Wenn Sie bereits Anzeichen einer allergischen Reaktion auf Silber bemerken, wäre es ratsam, einen Dermatologen oder Allergologen aufzusuchen, um die genaue Ursache zu ermitteln und geeignete Maßnahmen zu besprechen.
Sterling Silber ist eine Legierung, die aus Silber und anderen Metallen besteht, um die Härte und Beständigkeit zu verbessern. Unser Sterling Silber setzt sich aus etwa 95,4% reinem Silber und 4,6% anderen Metallen zusammen, wie Kupfer, Zink und Zinn.
Die Einbeziehung von Kupfer in die Legierung spielt eine entscheidende Rolle, um die notwendige Festigkeit und Haltbarkeit zu gewährleisten, da reines Silber allein zu weich für viele Schmuckanwendungen ist. Es ist jedoch wichtig zu beachten, dass der Zusatz von Kupfer bei einigen Menschen allergische Reaktionen auslösen kann.
