Skin-Safe & Stunning: 1 Gram Gold Plated Jewellery for Sensitive Skin 

Anyone who has ever removed a favorite necklace or earrings only to discover that the skin is red, itchy, or discolored with a green-black hue is familiar with the frustration of shopping for jewellery if it is an individual who suffers from sensitive skin. The bright side: It doesn't have to be this way. The secret to selecting the perfect jewellery for sensitive skin is to determine what it is actually crafted from under the shine. Handa Bangles' 1 gram gold plated jewellery is designed to steer clear of the most frequent irritants, which means you can wear it every day without the concern of an allergy.

Why Jewellery Irritates Sensitive Skin in the First Place 

It's useful to have an understanding of what exactly is going on before selecting your next piece. The irritation most often associated with jewellery isn't due to gold, but to the material underneath the gold.

Nickel is a metal that can cause contact skin reaction in many individuals, and is frequently found in cheap alloys. The particles released from the nickel irritate the skin, causing a rash, redness and itching when nickel comes into contact with moisture or sweat. This is also why jewellery leaves a green or black mark on the skin, it is a reaction of the base metal, not the plating.

If you've had reactions in the past, the one thing that is most helpful is to look for nickel free gold plated jewellery. Made using a premium alloy metal base (not sterling, not a cheap nickel heavy mix), Handa Bangles jewellery is chosen to be gently on skin that reacts easily.

What Makes one Gram Gold Plated Jewellery Skin-Friendly 

There are not all that many gold plated jewellery that are the same and that is something most people are not aware of when they are looking for hypoallergenic gold plated jewellery online. Here are the things to look out for:

Quality of base metal — a good alloy will minimize the potential for irritation; plating alone will not.

Don't use silver, no matter how expensive it is — even though it may be labeled “premium” sterling silver isn't the best choice for highly sensitive skin.

Gold Plating is consistent and size balanced (Handa Bangles does not plate the gold on products of various sizes in a random manner)

Water resistance — Not like other gold plated jewellery, Handa Bangles' jewellery won't be affected by water and therefore it will not suffer breakdown of the plating down the road, nor will it reveal the base metal underneath.

All three of these make 1 gram gold plated jewellery for sensitive skin a really safer option for your everyday wear, and not something you're told it is.

Skin-Friendly Earrings and Bangles: What to Choose 

Earrings and bangles are two of the most common areas where people experience irritation as these are in direct, continous contact with skin.

For earrings and bangles that are kind to the skin, seek out items with a smooth, even surface and steer clear of those that reveal the base metal or have bends that are prone for irritation to begin at the edges. Every piece in Handa Bangles' earrings and bangles collection is made from the same skin-considered alloy base, making it easy to not have to guess which pieces are "safer".

Daily Wear Without the Worry 

Those who are sensitive to skin often steer clear of jewellery on a daily basis, and only wear it when necessary, on special occasions. If the jewellery is made well, this is an unnecessary compromise.

When it comes to jewellery made with the precious metal gold, day to day wear for sensitive skin should stand the test of time, sweat and water or risk lightening quickly or the base metal becoming visible. This is exactly what Handa Bangles' 1 gram gold plated pieces are meant to do: to be worn every day instead of changing out to provide “a break for your skin.”

Frequently Asked Questions 

What is the best metal for sensitive skin jewellery? 

Nickel-free alloys and those carefully controlled during the plating process seem to be best for sensitive skin. The use of a premium alloy metal base is done specifically to minimize this risk with Handa Bangles.

Is 1 gram gold plated jewellery safe for allergic skin? 

It can be, if the base metal is nickel free, and the plating is applied evenly and consistently. Handa Bangles' jewellerys are designed with this in mind and use a high quality alloy as the base instead of a nickel-rich base that is cheaper.

Why does my jewellery turn my skin green or black? 

This is typically caused by the underlying metal that the plating is applied to being the cheaper of an alloy or one that contains nickel or copper, and its reaction with sweat and moisture. The amount of this is greatly reduced if the base metal is carefully selected when choosing jewellery.

Can I wear gold plated jewellery every day if I have sensitive skin? 

Yes, as long as the piece is made from a skin-considered base metal. Handa Bangles' jewellery is designed for daily wear, including resistance to water, which helps the plating last longer without exposing the base metal underneath.
