After learning<\/a> all about cadmium jewellery, I started thinking about why some jewellery makes your skin turn green. After a little digging I learned that the green reaction on your skin from a piece of jewellery is caused by a chemical reaction due to the combination of the metal in the jewellery and the acids in your skin. The most common culprit is copper.<\/p>\n

To avoid discolouring of skin, experts say to stick to stainless steel, platinum and rhodium-plated jewellery.<\/p>\n

What about allergic reactions? Some people break out into a rash from certain jewellery, this is due to an allergy to nickel. Nickel is often the base metal for a number of jewellery, whether it\u2019s fashion or fine. The only metals that are known not to contain nickel are stainless steel, 18- or 24- carat gold, sterling silver, and pure platinum.<\/p>\n

With all this new information<\/a> under my belt, I went running to our designers to ask them what types of metals our jewellery contains.<\/p>\n

I was proud to learn that I work for a company that does not cut corners and has its customers\u2019 best interest at heart.<\/p>\n

Here is what I learned:<\/p>\n

\n
• Armoir does not use any copper in any of its jewellery, thus eliminating the chance of skin discolouration = no green skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  \n
  • Armoir only uses nickel on plating of some chains and clasps, but has a number of pieces that doesn\u2019t contain nickel at all which allows customers with nickel allergies other options that don\u2019t require breaking the bank.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
