Earring allergies!

Are you allergic to silver? You can get some lovely silver earrings from Accessorize. I'm allergic to cheap earrings but I can wear silver & they're not too expensive!!

Have you tried 9ct white gold earrings because they shouldn't be too expensive.

You could also look for earrings made of niobium as it is generally good for sensitive skin.

Do you have a pic of your necklace in case someone has seen something suitable or could make one for you?

I'm allergic to silver and cheap earrings, can you wear yellow or white gold?

I've got white gold for my wedding earrings but there are a couple of options, for example, have you tried surgial steal earrings (try a piercing shop) or even putting clear nail varnish on the earring post is supposed to help too.

My earrings are 9carat white gold which cost me about £100 so not cheap but will keep forever and I will wear them for other occasions so well worth it!

Thanks for your suggestions. I have tried silver and they make my ears throb also.

I havent tried 9ct white gold as I was told they were mixed with nickel which could cause a reaction where as 18ct is purer and not mixed with other metals. I have seen some nice 9ct ones which are £55 - they are only studs but I can wear them everyday and if they are ok then I can go on a hunt for some nice drop earrings.

I havent heard of surgical steel, didnt even think about asking a piercing shop - definately worth asking them as they should know!

Thanks guys - I think a shopping trip is in order this weekend. I do not have a picture of my necklace, its a diamond 18ct white gold which was bought with inheritance money from my nan so is very sentimental. It is quite unusual so I dont think I will find a match and I cant afford to spend a fortune on having matching earrings made. I think diamond shape studs or small drops will match it nicely. I love my pearl earrings but my necklace and dress do not have pearls on them. Unfortunately when I bought the necklace and bracelet 6 years ago, I had given up on wearing earrings and didnt see the point in buying the matching ones!

I think M&S do Platinum plated jewellery, might be worth a try.

I have a friend who has to wear silver (can't be silver plate, has to be silver) she is allergic to gold - it makes buying her presents a nightmare!

I hope you find somewhere suitable

I get this too but find if I paint them with clear nail varnish it doesn't happen. Might be worth a try before having to spend mega bucks ?
