The charms are made by crocheting premium glass seed beads together with high quality cotton thread.

Sterling silver used for jewelry body, wires, ear posts and nuts, and other jewelry findings are .925 silver, and are all nickel free.

For plated earrings, we match them with stainless steel ear posts instead of plated ones because they are not prone to tarnish. When earrings are worn, the ear posts are in close contact with our skin. Oils from our skin will speed up the tarnishing process of silver/gold. And silver/gold plated jewelry cannot be polished as the plated silver/gold on the surface can be rubbed off by the chemical on jewelry cloth.

Why not use sterling silver/gold filled ear posts for plated jewelry? Most of the time, the reason why our customers pick plated jewelry over sterling silver/gold filled ones is because they are a less expensive option. Stainless steel ear posts are considerably less expensive than sterling silver/gold filled ones, so we can keep the pricing of our plated jewelry more affordable.

There are different kinds of metal allergy, which may differ from people to people. Materials used for each of our jewelry are written in their description, and you can refer below for each type of possible metal allergens.

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and is not suitable for people who are allergic to these metal. Brass used in our jewelry does not contain nickel.

Silver/gold plated, gold filled, and sterling silver used for our jewelry does not contain nickel.

Stainless steel contains a bit of nickel, but is considered hypoallergenic for most people. It is still safe to wear if you have only mild nickel sensitivity.
