For Healthy Ears – Opt For Platinum And Gold Ear Jewellery
There aren’t many of us who can afford to buy expensive jewellery. When shopping we’re all looking to treat ourselves at low cost prices. Ear jewellery at particularly low prices can be found in many high street stores and supermarkets. Although this may be good news for those of us shopping on a budget, what many people don’t realise, is that in order for ear jewellery to be sold so cheaply, it must be made with cheap and sometimes unsafe substances. Wearing earrings made from cheap metals could potentially cause an allergic reaction, which in severe cases can result in people never being able to wear earrings again.
Metals such as, brass, steel, copper, nickel and low karats of gold, can cause allergic reactions, resulting in rashes across the ears, causing burning and swelling. Some reactions can also cause the infected area to itch, seep and even bleed. Ignoring the problem and continuing to wear the ear jewellery, can result in the reaction spreading from the ear lobe all the way down the neck and hairline. In severe cases an allergic reaction can also spread into the ear canal and cause ear infections, which can be extremely painful and can leave long term damage to the ears.
The best way to avoid the risk of one of these reactions is to purchase your jewellery from a reputable designer. Therefore, you can be sure that what you’re buying is made from a high quality substance that is extremely unlikely to cause any skin reactions. Nickel is the most common substance in cheap ear jewellery, as it can be mixed with other metals such as silver, making the jewellery look more genuine than it actually is. High quality jewellery suppliers use platinum, as it has proven to be one of the best metals for piercings. It is favoured by many jewellery suppliers as it is extremely rare for it to cause skin reactions, it also is very durable and does not tarnish, discolour or oxidise.
The increase of allergic reactions caused by poor quality earrings has led many high quality jewellers to produce a wide range of affordable ear jewellery. For those who prefer stud earrings, there is a wide range of ear pins, specially made with either platinum or a high karat of gold. Ear pins are also now created with a wide range of gem stones, each said to bring a different form of luck and wellbeing. The glitzy, eye catching blue topaz gem stone for example, is said to bring wisdom, courage and sincerity, whilst amethyst is said to bring luck and relieve homesickness. There are also special shaped ear pins, again designed with high quality of yellow or white gold. These are ideal for younger wearers of ear jewellery and also feature a 1 point diamond.
For people who prefer hoop earrings, there is also a range of plain, diamond and gem stone earrings available. You can spend as much or as little as you like with 9 or 18 karat gold or platinum designs on offer. Some jewellers will also provide a custom made service, where you can choose the style and size of your earrings. If you’re purchasing an item of jewellery for gift purposes, many jewellers will also offer a gift box, free of charge with your order. As a new edition to ear jewellery, you can also now purchase ear plugs and tunnels created in either gold or platinum and available in plain, diamond, or special shaped designs.
