I have a metal allergy... ><
Are there any brides who say, "I have a metal allergy"?
There are quite a few people with metal allergies. In fact, I also have a mild metal allergy. (If I wear a necklace for a long time, my neck gets irritated...!)
I have several friends who have metal allergies, and I occasionally hear voices of people who realized they had a metal allergy for the first time after becoming adults.
It is said that metal allergy is a common allergy, affecting "1 in 10 Japanese people."
I want to wear cute accessories even with a metal allergy!
If you have a metal allergy, you can wear allergy-free accessories without worry.
However, the variety is much smaller compared to regular accessories, and even if you say you have a metal allergy, there are various types such as nickel, aluminum, zinc, and so on.
There are probably many brides who don't know what to do...
So, this time, I will introduce recommended accessories that any bride with a metal allergy can wear*
Accessory for those with metal allergies ① Pearls
First, let me introduce pearl accessories*
Pearl accessories are a great companion for those with metal allergies♡ Accessories made with natural pearls are not only gentle on the skin but are also said to be symbols of love, making them auspicious items♩
However, be careful, as there may be metal used in the clasps of necklaces or the backs of earrings, especially for sensitive brides.
Accessory for those with metal allergies ② Use titanium or platinum
There are materials that tend to cause symptoms with metal allergies and those that don't.
Mercury and nickel are likely to trigger allergies, but titanium, platinum, and gold are often materials that do not cause allergies!
It might be a good idea to do a patch test on inconspicuous areas to see which materials are safe for you or to take an allergy test at a hospital.
Allergy tests can usually be done through about three hospital visits over a week and are covered by insurance, costing around 1,500 yen♩
Accessory for those with metal allergies ③ Choose accessories with lace or silk as the base
If you want to use shiny jewelry but are concerned about metal, it's recommended to choose accessories that have lace or silk as the base.
Accessories made with lace or silk as the base do not allow metal to come into direct contact with the skin, so they are fine for those with metal allergies◎
[Savior] Have you heard of Metal Coat?
Finally, let me introduce an item called "Metal Coat."
Metal Coat is like a top coat that is applied to metal* By applying Metal Coat to metal, it prevents the material from directly touching the skin◎
If you want to wear your favorite metal accessories or if you have a mild metal allergy, why not give it a try?

Don't give up on cute accessories even with a metal allergy!
I introduced accessories that can be worn even with metal allergies, as well as "Metal Coat," which allows you to wear metal even with a metal allergy*
Even though we refer to it as a metal allergy, the way symptoms manifest and which metals react can vary from person to person. If you decide to try anything, please be sure to do a patch test in a discreet area and take proper precautions♡
