Are Sterling Silver Earrings Safe for Babies with Sensitive Ears?

Posted by Angie Van der Walt on

Safety First for Sensitive Ears
Piercing a child's ears is an exciting milestone. However, it often comes with a lot of worry for parents.
Will the earrings cause an infection? Will my baby's ears turn red or itchy?
A baby's skin is much thinner and more sensitive than an adult's. Choosing the wrong metal can trigger metal allergies. Here is everything you need to know about using sterling silver for your little one's ears.
The Truth About Metal Allergies in Children
The number one culprit behind earring irritation is nickel.
Nickel is a cheap hardening metal used in many low-quality jewelry pieces. When it dissolves against the skin, it frequently triggers an allergic reaction called contact dermatitis.
To protect your child, you must always look for metals labeled 925 Sterling Silver or  hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and lead-free.
Is Sterling Silver Hypoallergenic?
Yes, high-quality 925 Sterling Silver is an excellent, safe choice for babies and toddlers.
"925" means the metal consists of 92.5% pure silver. The remaining 7.5% is typically copper, which adds strength to the soft silver. Because genuine sterling silver is free from harmful nickel, it rarely causes reactions in sensitive ears.
At Little Miss Grace all the Children's earrings are 925 Sterling Silver, Hypoallergenic, Lead and Nickel free.
