I have an allergic reaction to most of my jewelry, including gold. Can I wear titanium?

Kirkmasters & Sons Third Generation Jewelers : Utica, Richmo...
Absolutely. Titanium is the most biocompatible (hypoallergenic) element known to man and will not irritate even the most sensitive skin. Unlike other jewelry materials, titanium does not need other alloys to harden the material. Many alloys create negative reactions with our body chemistry. Titanium can be safely and comfortably worn by everybody.

I am allergic/hypersensitive to certain metals, can I still wear your jewelry?

Bonnie Adornment |
Let's face it, some of us are a bit more sensitive to certain metals than others, I, myself, have never been able to wear any of those cute earrings you might find in accessory shops. It is because of this that many of the metal findings, from necklaces to bracelets and of course earrings, are of hypoallergenic materials, such as sterling silver, surgical steel, stainless steel and gold or gold-filled.

What's the difference between a sensitive reaction and an allergic one?

Murad Customer Care - Frequently Asked Questions about Skinc...
Excellent question because people often confuse the two. A sensitive reaction only occurs on the area of application, is dose dependent (that is, substance amount has a direct relationship with the reaction), and manifests immediately. An allergic reaction, however, elicits a systemic response that may occur all over the body and can be triggered even by the smallest amount. An allergic reaction often has a delayed onset as well.

Is allergic reaction same as an asthma episode ?

Apollo BreatheEazy Clinic
Allergic Reaction is not the same as an Asthma episode. People with food allergies do not necessarily have asthma. People with asthma may not have food allergies. A severe allergic reaction involving the immune system can result in difficulty with breathing because of obstruction of the upper airway. This should not be confused with an asthma episode. An asthma episode occurs because changes such as inflammation and bronchoconstriction cause breathing difficulties.
