The Ear Sense range is hypoallergenic, and nickel free, designed to minimise the risk of allergic reactions.

Ear Sense earrings are specially manufactured to conform to or exceed Australasian. U.S. and European Nickel Free standards. These regulate how much nickel maybe released onto the skin per week. For earrings, these are a maximum of 0.2 micrograms per square centimetre per week (i.e. 0.2 millionth of a gram). At this level nickel cannot be released into the bloodstream at levels high enough to trigger an allergic reaction.

  ​

Some earrings claiming to be hypoallergenic will only have a nickel free post, the front part of the earring may still contain nickel, and so irritation may still occur. Every part of our Ear Sense earrings including the post, the front, and the clutch is nickel free. Our Sleepers are solid sterling silver, and the gold version is plated in 22ct pure gold. 

​

It is important to understand that a certain percentage of people are extremely sensitive to contact with metals and at this level of sensitivity even nickel free earrings may still cause irritation. The only option for these customers maybe gold, silver or surgical stainless-steel earrings. Ear Sense earrings represent a high-quality alternative to these expensive metals at a very reasonable price point which will suit 99% of your customers.
