What is hypoallergenic jewelry?Updated 18 days ago

Hypoallergenic jewelry is made to minimize the risk of allergic reactions. If you’ve ever experienced redness, itching, swelling, or rashes from jewelry, you may have a metal allergy and should stick to nickel-free options. Even without known allergies, it’s best to avoid materials like nickel, brass, or zinc, as they can irritate the skin and aren’t body-safe.

At Rowan, all of our earrings are made with completely nickel-free precious metals. Our piercings studs are available in 14k Yellow and White Gold, Titanium, 24k Gold over Titanium, Stainless Steel, and 24k over Stainless Steel. For non-piercing jewelry, we offer styles in 925 Sterling Silver, 14k Gold over Sterling Silver, Gold Vermeil, 24k PVD over Titanium, Platinum PVD over Titanium, and solid 14k Yellow and White Gold. We melt down and chemically test the alloys used in every piece to ensure our earrings meet hypoallergenic standards.
