Review on Hypoallergenic 316L Surgical Stainless Steel Huggie Hoop Earrings for Men, Women, and Girls - Choose Your Perfect Size! by Mayur Kreps

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like them but they contain nickel

I bought a pair of 8mm earrings and shared a photo of me wearing one of each color. Skip this paragraph if you don't care about the nickels: I don't charge for them because it's my fault, but they CONTAIN nickels. 316L Surgical Steel contains over 10% Nickel and although the release rate of Nickel (quite unlike Nickel) is very slow, it still forces you into constant contact with Nickel. Even if they don't produce an immediate response, they can cause problems in the future. Nickel allergies can gradually worsen with exposure, so it's best to avoid it altogether. I personally had a reaction, and that's the only reason I researched this metal in the first place. Earrings made of 316L can be called hypoallergenic, but this is an incredible misconception. For the lucky ones who don't have to worry about nickel, these are good earrings. Comfortable enough to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, they lock easily and securely. I had one of eight hinges broken, but I'm sure the company would take care of it if I contacted them for a replacement.

Pros
  • clothes, shoes and jewelry
Cons
  • boring packaging
