Bling without the Sting
Ever wondered why hypoallergenic jewelry became a thing? Well, it all began with growing health concerns and changing rules in the fashion world. Once upon a time, costume jewelry had a shady reputation for containing lead, especially in stuff meant for kids. As people realized how risky lead exposure could be, safety regulations stepped in, and the whole industry had to pivot.
At Dinot Curated, we've taken the lead in creating 100% hypoallergenic jewelry that's free from harmful substances like mercury, cyanide, lead, and cadmium – we're all about jewelry that's kind to your skin. Let's dive into why this skin-friendly bling is such a game-changer.
The Allergenic Dilemma
Have you ever experienced redness, itching, or irritation after wearing certain jewelry pieces? Well, you're not alone.
Many people have sensitive skin that reacts to the presence of heavy metals, particularly nickel. Nickel allergy is one of the most common allergies and can cause discomfort and skin rashes.
Prolonged exposure to nickel can also lead to systemic effects, affecting our overall health. That's why hypoallergenic jewelry is a game-changer for those who want to wear accessories without any adverse reactions.
Our jewelry is made from surgical steel and does in fact contain nickel, but it does not release after being processed. Very rarely will people with nickel allergies react to surgical steel - and very rarely will it show up on nickel detector tests.
The Hidden Dangers of Heavy Metal
Let's talk about heavy metals and their impact on our well-being. Some jewelry items, especially those made of lower-quality materials, may contain traces of heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and even mercury. Yikes. These metals are not only harmful to our skin but can also pose serious health risks if absorbed into our bodies.
The Hidden Dangers of Gold Plating: Why We Say No to Cyanide
Did you know that traditional gold plating methods often involve the use of toxic chemicals like cyanide? It's a shocking truth that many are unaware of. Cyanide is used in the electroplating process to create a thin layer of gold over base metals. Cyanide is a highly toxic substance that can pose significant dangers to human health and the environment. Exposure to cyanide, whether through inhalation, ingestion, or contact with the skin, can interfere with the normal functioning of both ceIls and tissue, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, and in extreme cases, even coma or death.
By choosing accessories that are free from harmful substances like nickel, lead, and cadmium, you're making a conscious decision to prioritize your skin's health and well-being. At Dinot Curated, we're passionate about creating stunning pieces that are 100% hypoallergenic and safe for everyone to wear. Our jewelry is crafted using high-quality materials like surgical steel and AAAAA cubic zirconia, ensuring both style and skin-friendliness.
