What is jewellery allergy ?

Jewellery allergy is a common cause of contact allergic dermatitis. Most jewellery allergy is caused by the metals nickel and cobalt which is used in the manufacture of precious metal alloys. Common jewelry such as rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, watches, glasses frames, clothes buttons, scarves containing metal wires, etc. contain chromium and nickel, which will cause inflammation of the skin in direct contact.

In less expensive jewellery, nickel is often used in the base metal which is then plated with gold or silver. Many people who believe that they are allergic to gold or silver jewellery are allergic to nickel, which can occur as a trace element in gold or silver or has been used in the manufacture of gold jewellery to whiten and strengthen the piece.

(If you have a jewellery allergy, a dermatologist can perform a skin to determine if you have a metal allergy. Once your nickel or cobalt allergy is confirmed, it is essential to avoid contact with that metal.)
