Most people, including those with sensitive skin, will be able to wear our brass, copper, stainless steel, solid gold and 14k gold-filled jewelry with no problem. However, depending on the level of sensitivity, hyper-sensitive souls may still have reactions to these metals.

Those who are allergic to nickel (aka the majority of folks with “sensitive skin”) should avoid plated pieces.

For more details about metal content, allergens, and sensitivities, please visit our Metal Education page.

By meditating with and/or consciously embodying the properties of crystals through our everyday actions, we have the potential to see major changes in our vibration and energetic field.
