What are hypoallergenic earrings?

Hypoallergenic earrings are earrings made from metals that reduce the risk of skin irritation. Common hypoallergenic materials include sterling silver, titanium and gold vermeil.

What are stacking rings?

Stacking rings are rings designed to be worn together on one finger to create a layered jewellery look. Some designs include connected rings or linked rings that create the look of multiple rings in one piece.

What is gold vermeil?

Gold vermeil is jewellery made from sterling silver that is coated with a thick layer of gold. It contains real gold and offers a more durable finish than regular gold plated jewellery.

Earrings can be cleaned at home using warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to restore shine.

What piercing should I get?

Popular ear piercings include helix piercings, stacked lobe piercings, tragus piercings and conch piercings. The best piercing depends on ear anatomy and personal style.

5 Expert Tips to Spot Quality Hypoallergenic Jewellery

1. Focus on Materials

✅ Safe Choices:

925 Sterling Silver: Hypoallergenic, durable, and tarnish-resistant.
Nickel-Free Brass: Ideal for sensitive skin and affordable.
Gold Vermeil: A luxurious gold layer over sterling silver (perfect for allergy-prone skin).

❌ Avoid:

“Fashion jewellery” with undisclosed alloys.
Plated metals that wear off quickly.

Pro Tip: Look for REACH certification—it guarantees compliance with strict EU safety standards.

2. Check for Certifications

Certifications like REACH or EU Nickel Directive are your best friends. They ensure the jewellery meets safety benchmarks and is free from harmful substances.

3. Test Durability

Quality jewellery should last for years. Here’s what to check:

Clasps & Chains: Secure and sturdy.
Plating Thickness: Gold vermeil should have a 1.5-micron gold layer (industry standard).
Finish: Smooth edges, no rough spots.
