Titanium ear wires for sensitive ears

You've Got Metal Allergies; Now What?

One of the questions I often get about Bling Boheme earrings is whether they're safe for sensitive ears or not. It seems that the number of people with metal allergies is increasing every year. What once was very uncommon is now becoming almost the norm.

So, how do Bling Boheme earrings hold up to the scrutiny of those who suffer from metal allergies? I try to always keep in mind different needs of different customers, so if you're skeptical about safety of Bling Boheme earrings, read on.

Bling Boheme earring styles come with two options when ear wires are concerned: sterling silver or titanium. Our standard sterling silver is high quality silver and should be safe for ladies with mild metal sensitivities. However, if you're extremely sensitive to nickel, I would suggest you look at titanium instead. Why? Sterling silver is an alloy consisting of 92.5% silver and the remaining 7.5% includes other metals. That's mostly copper, but you can also have traces of germanium, nickel, and zinc in the mix. If you're highly allergic to nickel, even the tiniest amount can cause ear trouble.

For those with extreme nickel allergies, Bling Boheme offers an option to replace standard sterling silver ear wires with titanium free of charge. All you've got to do is leave us a note at checkout. Why titanium? Titanium is widely used to produce medical implants and was found to be well tolerated by most people.
