Nickel-Free Elegance
At Vivre Brilliance, we believe that true luxury harmonizes elegance with comfort. Our commitment to excellence is exemplified by our exclusive use of nickel-free metals in all our jewelry pieces, ensuring both beauty and peace of mind for our valued customers.
The Prevalence of Nickel in Jewelry
Nickel, a durable and cost-effective metal, is frequently used in the jewelry industry to strengthen alloys, particularly in pieces made from softer metals like pure gold (24K). By alloying gold with nickel, manufacturers enhance the durability and scratch resistance of their products. However, this practice often prioritizes cost savings over consumer comfort and safety.
Risks of Prolonged Nickel Exposure
Prolonged contact with nickel-releasing items can lead to allergic reactions, commonly manifesting as contact dermatitis. Symptoms include skin rashes, itching, and dryness, which may not appear immediately but develop over time with continued exposure. Notably, women are more susceptible to nickel allergies, with studies indicating that approximately 16% of women and 4% of men are affected.
Nickel Regulations in the U.S. and EU
To protect consumers, the European Union implemented the Nickel Directive, which restricts the amount of nickel released from jewelry and other products in direct and prolonged contact with the skin. The current limits are:
-
0.2 μg/cm²/week for post assemblies inserted into pierced parts of the body.
-
0.5 μg/cm²/week for other items intended for direct and prolonged skin contact.
In contrast, the United States lacks comprehensive federal regulations specifically addressing nickel content in jewelry, leaving consumers to rely on manufacturers' disclosures and standards.
