What to Look for in Earrings for Sensitive Ears

✨ Nickel-free metals: Nickel is the #1 cause of earring irritation. Avoid it at all costs.

✨ PVD silver or stainless steel: Lasts longer, resists tarnish, and is way more gentle on skin.

✨ Lightweight designs: Heavy earrings tug on piercings, which makes sensitivity worse.

✨ Hypoallergenic labels: Always check for this term if you’ve had issues in the past.
