Is natural stone jewelry suitable for sensitive ears?

That depends on the setting. The stone itself is skin-friendly, but the setting (the metal) determines whether it is suitable for sensitive ears. Choose a low-nickel stainless steel or 925 silver setting. Read more on our nickel allergy explanation page.
