Children’s Jewelry – Earrings for sensitive ears

Children Jewelry Earrings

What is best for metal jewelry for children? What are the best earrings for sensitive ears? First let’s start with what to avoid: nickel.

The reactions of the earring are caused by allergies in the metal, ranging in intensity from mild to severe. If someone has a slight nickel allergy may be able to wear jewelry nickel for a day, while people with severe allergies to nickel should not only avoid all the jewels of nickel, but also watches and buttons.

In the case of nickel free jewelry, be sure to comply with the European Free nickel standard. Currently, the United States has no standard, while the European standard requires an element containing no more than 0.05% nickel (or no more than 1 in 2,000).

What many do not know is that nickel is present in stainless steel (usually around 8% in jewelry), and cause reactions in many. Other metals that nickel can also cause reactions. A person can not tolerate a pound, but is able to put in 14K gold. Another can not tolerate 14K gold, but you can use niobium (niobium below).

14-karat is 14 parts gold to 24. Pure gold is 24 carats. This is too soft to be functional, so it is alloyed with other food for the duration, cost and color. Depending on the color of gold (which may be yellow, pink, green or white), other parts may be copper, silver, nickel, zinc, tin, palladium and / or manganese. (The white gold contains nickel.) Those who suffer from allergies in the metal, at times, respond to 14K gold, but not a 18-carat gold with minor impurities.

For those who suffer severe allergies metal, niobium is often the metal of choice. Niobium is a precious metal used for surgical implants inert and can be found in a variety of colors used for jewelry. Most people who are sensitive to niobium metal tolerated.

While there is a better metal for all, remaining sensitive to the ears are made with the following materials:

* Sterling Silver (one silver and copper alloys)
* Niobium (inert metal nickel-free)
* Nickel Free Jewelry
* Hook plastic posts and then covers (covers are made of polyethylene sleeves that go beyond the remaining posts so as not touching metal in the ear)

One of the materials mentioned above are good for earrings for children, with Sterling being a good first option.
