Nickel-Free Jewelry: Why it's Important and What Beautyway073 Offers

Why nickel-free jewelry is so important
Nickel allergies are among the most common contact allergies in Europe. Up to 15% of the population are sensitive to nickel – experiencing redness, itching, or skin rashes. Once a nickel allergy develops, it usually lasts a lifetime.
What does "nickel-free jewelry" mean?
Nickel-free jewelry contains no nickel or only a negligible amount – far below the EU limit of 0.05 mg/cm²/week. Materials such as surgical stainless steel (316L), titanium, or high-quality gold-plated alloys meet these requirements.
Symptoms of a nickel allergy
- Redness and itching at the contact point
- Blistering or scaling
- Burning sensation on the skin
- Eczema that can spread
Earring wearers are particularly affected, as the skin around ear piercings is especially sensitive.
Which materials are nickel-free?
Surgical Stainless Steel (316L): The most popular material for nickel-free jewelry. Extremely durable, hypoallergenic, and easy to care for.
Titanium: The most skin-friendly metal of all – ideal for freshly pierced piercings.
18K gold-plated on a stainless steel base: If the base is made of stainless steel and the gold layer is sufficiently thick, gold-plated jewelry is also nickel-free.
