Nickel Is Blamed
Summer skin allergies erupt from fashion jewelry because sweat erodes the gold metal plating exposing nickel - an allergen effecting over 20% of the population.

Fortunately affordable allergy-safe jewelry is available in surgical stainless steel and nickel-free alloys with 24 kt. gold electroplating. This summer collection from the Simply Whispers Catalog retails for $6.98 - $24.98, and is guaranteed allergy-safe.

Nickel Is To Blame
During hot summer months, allergies from fashion jewelry erupt because sweat erodes the precious metal plating and exposes nickel - the leading allergen in fashion jewelry.

Fortunately, allergy-safe jewelry is available from companies that use all surgical stainless steel and nickel-free alloys. A wide range of fashion jewelry for every day and every occasion is available including this Simply Whispers rhinestone flag pin for $18.98 and post earrings for $13.98. Designed by Roman Research, both the pin and earrings are ideal for displaying the stars and stripes this summer.

The watering can with gardening tools, pea pod and sunflower is available as both a pin and earrings for $18.98. Also new are the Illusion Earrings featuring a posted humming bird and a clasp with three delicate blossoms creating a clever "illusion" of a bird alighting onto flowers. Price is $19.98. All Perfections jewelry is made with nickel-free metal and plated with pure 24 kt gold. Highlights are hand-painted in richly colored baked-on enamel. Perfections jewelry is guaranteed to be allergy safe and hypoallergenic.
