Ask the Experts Hypoallergenic Jewelry Q&A

What can I use to cover metal jewelry if it causes allergic reactions on my skin?

If metal jewelry irritates your skin, try Jewelry Shield™ coating, clear nail polish or barrier paint, to create a protective layer. Hypoallergenic earring sleeves, plastic backs or silicone jump rings can also help. For a long-term fix, switch to titanium, niobium or surgical steel findings, which are less likely to cause reactions.
