do your ears get irritated when you wear earrings? you’re not alone. sensitive ears are a common concern — and choosing the right jewelry makes all the difference. at CINCO, we believe that comfort and safety should never come at the expense of style.
every piece we offer is designed to be gentle on sensitive ears. our entire earring collection is crafted exclusively from 925 sterling silver with 24k gold plating or 18k solid gold, ensuring luxury without irritation.
sensitive ears usually react to metals that cause allergic contact dermatitis. the most common trigger worldwide is nickel — but thanks to portuguese regulations, all jewelry sold in portugal is legally required to be nickel-free, giving you extra peace of mind if you have metal allergies.
that said, it's still important to choose high-quality, skin-safe materials, especially if you've experienced:
-
redness and inflammation
-
itchy or dry skin
-
swelling or pain after wearing earrings
even when jewelry is nickel-free, following a few best practices can help prevent discomfort:
start with studs: begin with simple, lightweight studs to test how your skin reacts before trying larger or dangling styles.
sterilize before wearing: clean new earrings with alcohol or saline solution before first use.
patch test: hold the earring against your skin for a few hours before wearing to check for any reaction.
invest in quality: premium materials not only last longer but are also less likely to irritate sensitive skin.
