Why Stainless Steel Jewellery Is Perfect for Sensitive Skin

Why Stainless Steel Jewellery Is Perfect for Sensitive Skin

If your ears go red, itchy or irritated after wearing earrings, you’re not alone.

Sensitive skin is one of the most common reasons people shy away from everyday jewellery, especially when it comes to earrings, studs, and necklaces worn close to the skin.

That’s exactly why stainless steel jewellery is having its moment.

Let’s break down why this material is a total game-changer for sensitive ears and skin—and why it’s behind every single piece we make at EVER.

 

1. It’s Hypoallergenic

Stainless steel is naturally hypoallergenic, which means it’s unlikely to cause a reaction, even for ultra-sensitive skin. Unlike other materials that contain nickel (a top skin irritant), high-quality stainless steel keeps things calm, cool and irritation-free.

Translation: no more rashes, redness or discomfort.

 

2. It’s Built to Last Through Sweat, Water & Life

If you’re the type to train, swim, or shower in your jewellery (we see you), stainless steel has your back. It’s corrosion-resistant and won’t break down when it’s exposed to moisture or sweat, unlike cheaper alloys that often irritate the skin as they degrade.

EVER’s gold and silver pieces are stainless steel at the core, then plated with thick layers of 14k gold or rhodium for that luxe finish.

 

3. It Keeps Its Colour ~ No Green Tinge Here

We’ve all had a piece of jewellery that looked cute… until it turned green (and took your skin with it). With stainless steel, your jewellery stays true to tone, whether gold or silver, without discolouring or tarnishing over time.

 

4. It’s Low-Maintenance and Worry-Free

No taking it off before workouts. No taking it off at the beach. No “what if this turns on me” stress.

Just durable, practical, chic jewellery made for the lifestyle you actually live.

 

The Bottom Line: Sensitive-Skin Safe, Style-First

EVER Jewellery was created with athletes, movers and go-getters in mind, and stainless steel is the foundation of it all. It’s functional, it’s beautiful, and it’s trusted by Olympians and everyday legends alike.
