Green Fingers No More: The Truth About Hypoallergenic & Tarnish-Free Jewelry
Have you ever experienced that unwelcome green discoloration on your skin after wearing certain jewelry? Or perhaps an irritating rash that makes you question if jewelry is even for you? These common frustrations often stem from traditional jewelry materials that react with your skin and the environment. At Fluitas, we believe everyone deserves to wear beautiful jewelry without compromise, which is why we specialize in hypoallergenic jewelry and tarnish-free jewelry designed for comfort and lasting beauty. Let's uncover the truth behind these issues and how Fluitas provides a solution.
The Culprits: Why Some Jewelry Causes Problems
The green skin and allergic rashes often associated with jewelry are typically caused by specific metal reactions:
β’Copper Oxidation (Green Skin): Many affordable jewelry pieces, especially those with gold or silver plating over a base metal, contain copper. When copper comes into contact with moisture (like sweat) and oxygen, it oxidizes, forming copper carbonate. This green compound then transfers to your skin, creating the infamous
green stain.
β’Nickel Allergy (Rashes & Irritation): Nickel is a common metal used in many jewelry alloys due to its hardness and low cost. However, it is also one of the most frequent causes of allergic contact dermatitis. When nickel-containing jewelry comes into contact with sweat, nickel ions can leach out and penetrate the skin, triggering an immune response that results in an itchy, red rash.
β’Tarnishing (Dull & Discolored Jewelry): Tarnishing is a chemical reaction that occurs when certain metals, particularly silver, react with sulfur-containing gases in the air or substances like sweat. This reaction forms a dark layer of metal sulfide on the surface, dulling the jewelry's shine and making it look old and unappealing.
The Fluitas Promise: Comfort, Durability, and Style
Fluitas jewelry is designed to eliminate these common problems, offering you beautiful pieces that you can wear with confidence, all day, every day. Our secret lies in a commitment to superior materials and advanced manufacturing processes.
1. The Power of Stainless Steel
At the heart of our tarnish-free jewelry is high-grade 316L stainless steel. This remarkable alloy is naturally resistant to corrosion and tarnishing because it forms a passive, protective layer of chromium oxide on its surface when exposed to air. This layer constantly renews itself, preventing the chemical reactions that lead to discoloration and dullness.
2. Hypoallergenic by Design
We specifically choose 316L stainless steel because it is inherently hypoallergenic. While it may contain trace amounts of nickel, the nickel is tightly bound within the alloy and does not readily leach out to cause skin reactions. This makes Fluitas jewelry an excellent choice for individuals with sensitive skin or known nickel allergies, ensuring you can enjoy your accessories without discomfort or unsightly green marks.
3. Advanced PVD Coating for Lasting Brilliance
For our stunning gold and silver-toned pieces, we utilize Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating. This advanced technique creates an incredibly durable and long-lasting finish that is far superior to traditional plating methods. PVD coatings are highly resistant to scratches, wear, and corrosion, ensuring your jewelry maintains its vibrant color and shine even with constant exposure to sweat and water. This means your jewelry remains tarnish-free and brilliant, just like your active spirit.
