Only sensitive ears know the pain and irritation that can come from wearing certain types of earrings. But finding a pair of earrings that won’t irritate your ears doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, there are only a few types of earrings that you should wear if you have sensitive ears.
The first type of earring you should look for is one that is made from hypoallergenic materials. It means that the earring is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction. Some of the most popular hypoallergenic materials include 14K gold, sterling silver, stainless steel, titanium, and niobium. Let’s look at a few of these hypoallergenic earrings you can be proud to wear without that niggling worry about allergic reactions.
Gold stud earrings
Whether it is yellow, rose, or white gold, you should find some safe earrings that have all the style and elegance you yearn for. You don’t have to settle for the plain gold ones. Instead, you can wear solitaires or other gemstones and still stay within the hypoallergenic sphere. Stud earrings like the Celeste Solitaire Studs or the Marya Solitaire Studs are glamorous statements that will add to your confidence without discomfort.
But, if you want to wear only gold earrings, you will still find the Anaina Gold Stud Earrings a perfectly safe choice. The style is unique and covers the ear lobe with a fan-like design that is at once different and stylish. There is something to be said for grace with the Grace Extraordinary Gold Stud Earrings.
Sterling silver earrings
Silver earrings offer an infinite variety to choose from, with small to large hoops, dramatic colour contrasts with enamel, and long danglers. Intricate tribal designs and contemporary styles abound among sterling silver earrings, still remaining safe and hypoallergenic to wear. You can choose the Lit All Day silver pearl hoop earrings for your daily wear. For the evening out, change them up with the Antique Vapi Pillar Earrings. How about a bit more drama with the Silver Enamelled Hoop Earrings in Neon Pink?
Platinum drop earrings
Tired of gold and silver? Change it up with platinum, and be absolutely sure that you are wearing something you love that you never have to worry about. Earrings like the Minimalist Duo Platinum Drop Earrings can keep you in style all day long. Hug yourself with joy because you have found the perfectly safe earrings in the Hug Platinum Stud Earrings, with its cluster of tiny diamonds.
Another type of earring you should consider wearing is one that has a flat back. This type of earring will put less pressure on your earlobe, which can ward off skin irritation. Studs, with or without gemstones and diamonds, can be perfectly safe when they come with a flat back. More often than not, the front of the earrings are dazzling in their beauty, but the back pokes and prods till you find yourself constantly fiddling with it. Having a flat back will take care of the problem, leaving it smooth against the skin.
Finally, you may want to consider wearing clip-on earrings. Clip-on earrings don’t even need pierced ears, which can be a great option if your ears are particularly sensitive. Clip-on earrings also help you remove them easily whenever you feel like going earrings-free. What’s more, you can carry them with you, put them on just for the party, and slip them back into your bag on your way home.
Sensitive ears do not mean sans jewellery. It only means that you need to watch what you wear. You will never run short of simple or sophisticated jewellery at CaratLane, as long as you know what you are sensitive to and care for your ears, pierced or not. If you’re still unsure what you are allergic to, you can always get a patch test at your dermatologist’s. Know that the skin around the ear lobe is delicate and impure metals can take away all the joy of wearing great jewellery. The simplest solution is to know your skin type and pick earrings that make you safe rather than sorry. CaratLane offers only safe and certified materials in their jewellery collection so that you can take that worry off your hands. Enjoy wearing any of the earrings from your collection, and know that you can sparkle and dazzle safely!
