| It has come to our attention that some of you may be concerned about our jewelry being made of metal that contains nickle, or that is nickle-plated. None of our hand-crafted items are made with nickle or nickle plated metals. We would never knowingly use metals that contain nickle for any jewelry that would have a prolonged exposure to the skin. There may be nickle in a key-chain for example, but we would not make a bracelet, or necklace from it. We commonly use bright aluminum, copper, brass and bronze. The body does not absorb aluminum easily, and the skin, lungs and gut act as effective barriers. An allergy to aluminum is possible, as it is with the copper, brass and bronze that we use, however, allergies to these metals are not common. We do offer, for those who are concerned about what type of metal their jewelry is made of, options to have their jewelry made of something else. If you would follow the www.masters-hand.net/metals-colours link it will take you to a page on our website where you can see what other metals we either have or can order for the jewelry. If you know you are, or suspect you may be allergic to any of the metals we commonly use in making our jewelry I urge you to visit our www.masters-hand.net/metals-colours page and turn in a custom order request to have your item done in another type of metal. I hope this answers any questions and helps alleviate any concerns you may have on this subject. If not, please feel free to Contact Us. We are always happy to answer any questions you might have. |
