Had you ever wear a ring and noticed next week that your skin turned green? If this happened to you, you should know that every person has some degree of sensitivity to jewellery metals. There can be many reasons for the allergic reaction to occur. Below mentioned are the types jewellery metals that cause allergy. 

Stainless Steel/Nickel

Nickel is a common metal that causes a reaction. This inexpensive metal is used in cheaper jewellery. The allergic reactions like skin colouration occur after the metal gets in touch with skin's oils or acids.

The symptoms of an allergy are red rash with itchiness and blisters. If you ever faced this kind of allergy then you should buy quality jewellery without any traces of nickel.

Brass/Copper

Brass and Copper could be the main causes in turning your finger green. Both of these metal could easily be found in cheaper and lower jewellery. These metals are used by mixing or plating with other metals.

One of the most popular colour rose gold is formed by mixing with copper. The use of these metals in the jewellery could be the culprit of your allergy.

If you are allergic to copper and its alloys as well, it is better to deny brass and copper products.

Silver/Gold

A plethora of people think that they are allergic to silver and gold, but most of the times they do not ever realize that jewellery they are wearing might be plated in silver or gold. The nickel or copper used for plating when coming in contact with skin may cause allergic reactions.

As an illustration, nickel is mixed with white gold for giving jewellery a more bright white colour. If you want to avoid allergies, try to buy jewellery of gold or silver, not plated.
