Safety First: The Materials of Our Jewelry
When it comes to creating anime and manga-inspired jewelry, creativity is only half the story. It's crucial that the materials used not only express the desired aesthetic and meaning, but are also safe for the wearer. In this article, we'll explore the materials we use, their properties, and the importance of choosing hypoallergenic materials .
Difference between Simple Allergy and Compound Allergy
Before going into the details of the materials, it's important to understand the difference between simple and compound allergies.
A simple allergy occurs when a person develops an allergic reaction to a single component of a material, such as nickel, which is common in many metal alloys. Symptoms may include itching, redness, and skin irritation.
- A compound allergy , on the other hand, refers to an allergic reaction to more than one component. For example, a person could be allergic to both nickel and cobalt, which together can cause more severe reactions.
Choose the material that best suits you
Brass
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, known for its strength and adaptability. It's a reasonably priced material, often used in jewelry due to its luster and ease of working. However, it's important to note that brass may contain traces of metals such as nickel, which could cause reactions in sensitive individuals. For this reason, we only use high-quality brass, tested to ensure low levels of allergenic metals.
18K Gold Plated Copper
18k gold-plated copper is a popular option for those seeking a chic look without compromising their budget. The gold plating lends an elegant and luxurious look, while the underlying copper provides strength and durability. This coating is a great way to avoid direct contact with the copper, thus reducing the risk of allergies. However, it's always recommended to keep the jewelry clean and dry to prolong the life of the plating.
Silver Plated Copper
Similar to gold-plated copper, silver-plated copper offers a refined aesthetic and an affordable alternative to solid silver jewelry. Likewise, silver plating helps prevent direct contact with the copper, making the jewelry safer for those with nickel or other metal sensitivities. Again, proper maintenance helps maintain the jewelry's appearance and durability.
