Is Silver Clad Jewelry Hypoallergenic

For individuals with sensitive skin, finding jewelry that doesn't cause irritation can be a frustrating journey. A common and important question we encounter is whether Silver Clad jewelry is a safe and hypoallergenic choice. The answer is a definitive yes, and understanding its construction is key to knowing why.

True hypoallergenic properties in jewelry come from the materials that directly contact the skin. High-quality Silver Clad jewelry is engineered with a core of surgical-grade stainless steel or a non-reactive alloy, which is then bonded with a substantial layer of pure silver. This design ensures that the exterior surface your skin touches is the inert, hypoallergenic silver, while the core provides strength and structure. The INT METAL Silver Clad collection is specifically manufactured to this standard, ensuring both beauty and comfort.

Key Product Parameters for Hypoallergenic Assurance

At INT METAL, we don't compromise on materials. Our Silver Clad jewelry is defined by precise specifications that guarantee its safety and quality:

• Outer Layer: 925 Sterling Silver (92.5% pure silver), known for its excellent hypoallergenic properties.

• Core Material: 316L Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel, highly resistant to corrosion and nickel-free.

• Bonding Technology: A proprietary high-pressure diffusion bonding process ensures the layers are permanently fused, preventing separation and ensuring the skin only contacts the silver surface.

Silver Clad FAQ

What does hypoallergenic mean in jewelry
Hypoallergenic means the product is designed to minimize the likelihood of causing an allergic reaction. For jewelry, this specifically refers to the absence of common irritants like nickel, lead, or cadmium in the materials that touch the skin.

How long does the hypoallergenic layer last on Silver Clad jewelry
With proper care, the hypoallergenic silver surface of INT METAL Silver Clad jewelry is permanent. Our bonding process ensures the layer will not wear off under normal conditions, providing lifelong protection against irritation.

Can I wear Silver Clad jewelry if I have very sensitive skin
Yes. Because the skin interacts solely with the sterling silver surface, our Silver Clad jewelry is an excellent choice for those with even highly sensitive skin or known metal allergies, offering the aesthetic of premium jewelry without the discomfort.
