| Would someone please be so kind as to recommend any products that would help to lessen the sensitivity of skin to certain metals used in jewelry? In particular we are interested in a product that would help people who have a mild allergic reaction to gold jewelry. Thank you! |

| For rings an inexpensive solution is to paint clear nail polish on the inside. Earrings are more problematic. It is most likely not the gold causing the problem, but the other metal alloys used to extend and harden the metal. |

| I am a jewelry lover with an allergy to commonly used metal alloys and am not aware of any procedure or product that can reduce the skin's sensitivity to contact allergens. White gold is often problematic for that reason,although nickel-free alloys are now available. Platinum and titanium are much less allergenic. Sterling silver is generally well-tolerated, with or without rhodium plating. If you have someone with an allergy who is intent on wearing yellow gold, his/her best bet is to go with as high a karat value as the product engineering will allow, to minimize the zinc content, as the gold itself is not allergenic. The customer should wear the gold (or the item) against his/her skin for a minimum of six hours before deciding whether they can tolerate it. Of course, everyone is different... |

| To help lessen sensitivity to gold jewelry, consider using a clear jewelry protectant spray like Allergy Free Jewelry Protectant, which creates a barrier between the skin and metal. Additionally, opting for nickel-free jewelry or pieces made from hypoallergenic metals like titanium or platinum can reduce reactions. Also, with the fluctuating goud prijs per gram, it’s important to consider affordable alternatives that might be more suitable for sensitive skin. For earrings, hypoallergenic jewelry liners can protect the skin from direct contact. If irritation occurs, applying hydrocortisone cream can soothe the skin. Always patch test new products before use. |
