1. What is hypoallergenic jewelry?1. What is hypoallergenic jewelry?
Hypoallergenic means it produces little or no allergic reaction. Therefore, hypoallergenic jewelry is less likely to cause allergic reactions.
And how are these jewels made? To produce them, certain toxic metals, such as nickel, are avoided, and other less allergenic metals are chosen instead. Hypoallergenic jewelry minimizes the risk of allergic reactions, but this doesn't mean it can't cause a minor reaction.
2. Hypoallergenic materials in jewelry
To minimize the risk of allergy in jewelry, three alloys are used in the production of jewelry.
The first is 925 silver. As we've explained in other blogs, sterling silver is a combination of silver and another metal, with silver accounting for 92.5% of the alloy. This is where its name comes from.
If after reading this, you feel the need to buy 925 silver jewelry, at Lavani we have a wide range of high-quality, stylish, and versatile pieces. We recommend the Crocodile and La Plage Hoop Earrings, two essential pieces that shouldn't be missing from your jewelry box, as well as the Empress Choker , which will be perfect for everyday wear or for a more special event.
The second material is titanium. This material tarnishes and is corrosion-resistant. Strength, durability, and lightness are its three characteristics. This metal is ideal for creating avant-garde jewelry in a variety of colors obtained through its own oxidation processes.
And the last material is surgical steel. This is widely used in jewelry because it generally doesn't cause allergic reactions in most people. It's also used in medical applications. This metal is characterized by its purity, strength, and durability, and it doesn't tarnish or rust in water.
3. Materials that cause allergies
On the other hand, all of these jewelry pieces that lose quality are made of other metals. In addition to nickel, as mentioned above, copper, bronze, cadmium, and chromium are among those that can cause reactions when wearing jewelry. The color and quality of these pieces will diminish and may cause stains on your skin. Therefore, jewelry made of silver or gold along with any of the aforementioned metals is not recommended.
At Lavani, we have the jewelry you love so much, that never loses its quality or causes allergic reactions. Our jewelry is gold-plated or made of 925 silver, so you can wear it without any problems.
With anti-allergy gold plating, your jewelry will last longer with proper care and attention. To learn more about Lavani materials, click here .

4. Tricks to make jewelry last longer
Gold-plated pieces that are hypoallergenic will last longer and maintain their quality if properly cared for and maintained. Some of our recommendations are as follows:
- Do not wash your hands or shower with jewelry on.
- Avoid wearing jewelry when you apply cologne, cream or any cosmetics.
- Remove your jewelry if you are going to use cleaning products.
- Don't wear jewelry while exercising. Sweat can cause jewelry to lose its quality.
Not only should these steps be taken into consideration, but the jewelry itself must be cleaned properly. Whether it's gold-plated or silver, the cleaning processes are different. If you'd like to learn more about how to clean your jewelry, click here .
But it's also very important to store your jewelry in a suitable place. This will prevent it from being damaged if its quality deteriorates. It's best to store these pieces in a jewelry box, so that each piece is organized in its own place and to avoid having all the jewelry pieces stacked together, which would damage them. Lavani offers two types of jewelry boxes to help you take care of your jewelry. The first is the Travel Jewelry Box , a basic item that contains various spaces for each type of jewelry and is a perfect organizer. While the second, the Petite Jewelry Box, is ideal for when you have to go on a trip and don't have much space in your suitcase. Take it anywhere!
