Choosing jewellery is not just about aesthetics—comfort and wearability matter, especially for those with sensitive skin. Many people experience allergic reactions to certain metals in their jewellery, which can cause irritation, itching, or redness. Fortunately, not all jewellery is created equal. In this post, we’ll break down why our 9K gold alloy is hypoallergenic and perfect for sensitive skin, explaining the materials we use and why they’re safe.

What Makes Jewellery Hypoallergenic?

Hypoallergenic jewellery is designed to minimize the risk of causing allergic reactions. The primary culprit behind most jewellery allergies is nickel, a metal commonly found in various alloys. Nickel is known to cause skin irritation and allergic reactions, especially for people with sensitive skin.

Our 9kt gold alloy is nickel-free, making it an ideal choice for anyone prone to allergies. However, hypoallergenic properties depend not just on the absence of nickel but also on the specific metals that are included in the alloy. Let’s dive into the materials used in our gold alloy and why they’re safe.

What’s in Our 9kt Gold Alloy?

Our 9K gold is carefully formulated using a blend of high-quality metals to ensure durability, a beautiful finish, and, most importantly, hypoallergenic properties. Here’s a breakdown of the materials we use:

• Gold: Naturally hypoallergenic, gold is one of the most skin-friendly metals. However, in pure form, it is too soft for everyday jewellery, which is why it is alloyed with other metals for strength and durability. In our 9kt gold alloy, gold makes up 37.5% of the metal composition.
• Copper: Copper is added to give strength and durability to gold jewellery, but it also plays a role in creating the warm, golden hue. Copper is hypoallergenic for most people, and it rarely causes skin reactions. It’s an essential part of our alloy to maintain durability while still being gentle on sensitive skin.
• Silver: Silver is another metal included in our 9kt gold alloy. Like copper, silver is hypoallergenic for most people. It enhances the colour and lustre of the gold, while also being a safe metal for sensitive skin.
• Zinc: Zinc is a hypoallergenic metal that helps strengthen the alloy without compromising its skin-friendly properties. It stabilises the alloy, ensuring that your jewellery remains durable and resistant to tarnishing.

Why Is Nickel-Free Jewellery Important?

Nickel is one of the most common metals responsible for causing allergic reactions, particularly nickel contact dermatitis. Even a small amount of nickel in jewellery can cause irritation for people with sensitive skin. That’s why all of our 9K gold jewellery is completely nickel-free.

By removing nickel from our alloy, we eliminate the risk of this common allergy, making our jewellery ideal for people who might otherwise struggle to find pieces that won’t cause a reaction.

Hypoallergenic Properties: Unique to Our Alloy

It’s important to note that the hypoallergenic properties we describe are specific to the materials we use in our 9K gold alloy. Not all gold jewellery is created equal, and other manufacturers may use different alloys that contain metals like nickel or other irritants. Always check the composition of gold jewellery before purchasing, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Benefits of Our Hypoallergenic Jewellery

• Beauty and Comfort Combined: The mix of metals in our alloy gives it a beautiful finish, while still being comfortable enough for daily wear.
