Hypoallergenic Earrings – Waterproof 316L Steel for Sensitive Ears
Hypoallergenic earrings by DANSK Copenhagen are made in 316L stainless steel and designed to be waterproof – studs, huggies, hoops and drops in clean Scandinavian forms, chosen with sensitive ears in mind.
Find your earrings
Wear a pair of small studs every day, add huggies for a curated ear, or choose hoops and drops for more presence. With earrings, comfort is also about weight and backing – a light design with a secure back sits best on sensitive earlobes.

Why 316L steel for sensitive skin?
316L stainless steel forms a thin, protective oxide layer on its surface. It resists corrosion and helps limit the release of metals from the alloy during everyday skin contact. Each product page lists the materials, including any stones or decorative details.
Waterproof, in silver or gold
Every design is made to stay on – in the shower, at the gym and on holiday. Silver-tone designs have the steel's own natural colour all the way through; gold-tone designs have 18K gold ION plating over 316L steel. See how to care for waterproof jewellery.
Hypoallergenic Earrings – Frequently Asked Questions
Are these earrings suitable for sensitive ears?
316L stainless steel is hypoallergenic at material level, and each product page lists the materials of the earring and its back. Weight and a backing that does not pinch also matter for comfort. Individual sensitivities vary.
Is 316L surgical steel nickel-free?
No. 316L steel contains nickel as part of the alloy, but the nickel content is not the same as the amount released from the surface. The steel's protective oxide layer helps limit that release, so hypoallergenic and nickel-free do not mean the same thing.
Will the jewellery tarnish?
Designs with 18K gold ION plating are tarnish-resistant. Silver-tone designs are the natural colour of the steel, the same all the way through, so they are tarnish-free. ION vs PVD plating explained.
