Collection: Colorful jewellery

Nickle is a type of metal alloy made up mostly of nickel and small amounts of other metals, such as copper or zinc. It was often used in jewelry because it was malleable, which means that it could be easily cut and shaped into the desired forms. In addition, it was relatively inexpensive compared to other metals.

However, we no longer use nickle in jewelry due to its potential health risks. It can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in some people when they come into contact with it. In addition, when exposed to air or water, nickle can react chemically and break down over time, which makes it an unreliable choice for jewelry.

No, there is no nickle in either our brass or stainless stee jewellery. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, while stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium. There can be trace elements of other metals found in these materials, but nickle is not included.

Wearing jewellery without nickel is important because nickel can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. Nickel allergy is one of the most common causes of contact dermatitis, an itchy and sometimes painful rash that can occur when the skin comes into contact with certain allergens. Symptoms of a nickel allergy can range from mild itching or redness to hives, blisters, and eczema. In extreme cases, it can even lead to anaphylactic shock.
