Common Questions

Misconceptions

Just the Highlights:

  • Sensitive ears are caused by metal allergies
  • Nickel is a common metal allergy, but there are other metals like gold, copper, chromium, and cobalt that cause allergies as well
  • If you have sensitive ears, seek out earrings made with pure, non-reactive metals like titanium, niobium, and platinum
  • Ignore labels like "hypoallergenic earrings" or "nickel free earrings" and just look at the metals that are in the earrings (just like you would look at the ingredient list for a food allergy)
  • Price doesn't determine quality. Titanium & niobium are affordable metals that are even better than gold or silver for sensitive ears!
  • At Tini Lux, we make all of our earrings & earring backs with pure titanium
