Jewellery and Skin Reactions: What’s Normal and When to Be Concerned
Jewellery-related skin reactions are often harmless and temporary, caused by factors like oxidation, moisture, or skin pH. At KBN Jewellery, we use high-quality, hypoallergenic materials such as gold-fill and sterling silver, which are gentle on most skin types and free from nickel. While green marks or mild redness are common and usually not a cause for concern, more severe reactions are rare.
Why We Check Every Jumpring (Yes, Every Single One)
At KBN Jewellery, quality craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why every jumpring on your necklace or bracelet is individually checked and secured by hand before leaving our studio. Jumprings may be small, but they play a big role in keeping your jewellery safe and wearable for years to come. From soldering to polishing, we inspect each piece to ensure durability, strength and peace of mind.
