Hypoallergenic Earrings

Hypoallergenic earrings are made from materials that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction. But the term itself isn't regulated in the jewellery industry, which means not every earring labelled hypoallergenic is made equal. The safest approach is to look at the actual materials, not just the label.

Yes. Every pair is made from 925 sterling silver or gold-plated sterling silver. Both are widely considered hypoallergenic. For style recommendations based on comfort, explore our earrings for sensitive ears collection.
