If you’ve ever worn a necklace or ring that left your skin itchy, red, or irritated, you’re not alone. Many people have sensitive skin that reacts to certain metals — and the jewelry you choose can make a big difference.
That’s where sterling silver comes in. Not only is it beautiful and timeless, but it’s also one of the best materials for those with skin sensitivities. Here’s why:
1. Sterling Silver Is Hypoallergenic
Sterling silver (marked as 925 silver) is made of 92.5% pure silver, blended with a small amount of copper for strength. It does not contain nickel, which is the leading cause of allergic reactions in jewelry.
This makes it a safe and comfortable option for daily wear, especially for people with nickel allergies or sensitive skin.
2. It's Gentler Than Fashion Jewelry Metals
Many affordable fashion jewelry pieces are made with brass, alloy, or nickel-plated metals, which often cause skin irritation or discoloration. These materials may look good at first, but they can oxidize quickly and trigger allergic reactions.
In contrast, sterling silver is skin-safe, durable, and designed to last, especially when well cared for.
3. Tarnish Doesn’t Mean Trouble
Some people mistake silver tarnish for a sign of poor quality or a skin reaction. In reality, tarnishing is a natural oxidation process, and it can be easily polished away.
Tarnish does not irritate the skin and doesn't mean the jewelry is unsafe — it’s just part of silver’s character. At Arun & Aura, our silver pieces are often finished with a protective rhodium or gold plating to slow tarnishing and maintain shine.
4. Ideal for Everyday and Special Gifts
Because it’s both beautiful and hypoallergenic, sterling silver is a thoughtful choice for gifts — especially when you’re unsure of someone’s sensitivity.
Whether you’re giving a personalized necklace, a pet memorial charm, or a pair of engraved earrings, you can trust that it’s gentle on the skin and safe to wear every day.
