Do You Have Difficulty Wearing Earrings Due to Sensitive Skin or a Skin Allergy? If so, then ...

Welcome to Sensitively Yours!  

If you answered 'Yes' to having sensitive skin, you are not alone!  Almost 50% of the population with pierced ears have a sensitivity to the nickel metal used in jewelry today. As a result of their skin sensitivity or skin allergy, sometimes referred to as allergic contact dermatitis, consumers often purchase expensive jewelry made from 10K, 12K, 14K, or 18K gold. However, even the expensive earrings use nickel alloys.

What about hypo-allergenic posts? Surprisingly, hypo-allergenic posts can irritate sensitive ears. Most of these hypo-allergenic posts are made from stainless steel - not surgical steel. Stainless steel in the hypo-allergenic posts can release minute amounts of nickel from the steel to irritate sensitive ears or trigger a skin allergy reaction. Even expensive 12K and 14K posts are still a problem for people with sensitive skin or allergies. Jewelry labeled 14K gold is 58% gold and 42% alloys - alloys, including nickel, that can irritate sensitive ears.

Sensitively Yours earrings are made from the most irritant-free metals available to eliminate skin and ear sensitivity and to ensure a comfortable fit. Normal piercing studs are made from 302 surgical steel. Our earrings are made from one grade higher, 304 surgical steel. We then use 7 to 10 mil of pure 24K gold overlay on not only every surgical steel post, but all other parts of the earring as well, including the backs. Pure 24K gold and surgical steel are some of the most irritant-free materials available - they are affordable and suitable for jewelry. Sensitively Yours earrings are attractive and competitively priced, and they are made in the USA.

Due to the rising cost of gold (tripled in recent times!), we will need to make some price adjustments in 2010.  We have held off as long as possible, but some adjustments must be made.  To all of our loyal customers, we appreciate you and hope you will understand.
