Hypoallergenic stainless steel earring findings are earring components made from stainless steel that are designed to be hypoallergenic, meaning they are less likely to cause an allergic reaction in people with sensitive skin. However, it is also worth noting that even hypoallergenic stainless steel findings may not be suitable for everyone, as individual sensitivities can vary.
Stainless steel is a popular choice for hypoallergenic earrings because it is durable, resistant to tarnish, and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions compared to other metals such as nickel or brass. These findings can include earring hooks, posts, hoops, or other components used to assemble earrings.
304 stainless steel specifically is a type of austenitic stainless steel, which is the most widely used stainless steel grade. It contains a high percentage of chromium (18-20%) and nickel (8-10.5%), which gives it excellent corrosion resistance and durability. 304 stainless steel is non-magnetic and has good formability, making it a perfect choice for earring findings. It is also known for its resistance to oxidation and high-temperature strength.
At Daisy Meadow, we only use high quality 304 stainless steel for our finding unless - Sterling Silver is requested.
