The number of people who suffer from metal allergies is on the rise every year. If you have an allergic rash from an accessory, or if you are allergic to metal one day, you may be especially anxious about choosing a wedding ring that will last a lifetime. This is one of the reasons why choosing a wedding ring can be so much fun if you have the right knowledge about metal allergies and wedding rings! In this article, we will introduce you to a wedding ring that you can choose from even if you are allergic to metal.
What is a metal allergy anyway?
Allergies caused by metals can cause rash symptoms such as itching, rashes and redness. Metals are often mixed with several metals, such as nickel and palladium, to adjust their color and stabilize their strength, and these metals are often the cause of allergies.
The trouble is that once an allergic reaction occurs, it is difficult to completely cure.
Why do metal allergies occur?
Metal ions are produced when metals are dissolved by perspiration or other means in tiny amounts.
The body recognizes the metal dissolved by perspiration or other means as “foreign” and overreacts to it, causing allergic symptoms such as rashes and inflammation. Once the inflammation goes away, if the same metal comes into contact with the body again, the antibodies prepared for the previous invasion react violently with the ionized metal (allergen), and the inflammation is repeated each time.
It Can Happen All of a Sudden Even if You’ve Never Had It
An “overreaction of antibodies” depends on a person’s constitution, and it varies from person to person as to whether and when an allergic reaction will occur. This is due to the fact that each person has a different tolerance for allergens (metals).
Even for those who do not have an immediate reaction, wearing the same metal continuously causes allergens to accumulate in the body, exceeding the person’s tolerance range and causing the constitution to develop a metal allergy. Therefore, it is possible for a person to develop allergy symptoms overnight.
The Different Types of Metals That Causes Allergies
Some metals are more likely to cause allergies than others.
<Allergy-prone metals>
Nickel, cobalt, palladium, chromium, copper, iron, etc.
<Metals that are less likely to cause allergies>
Titanium, stainless steel, gold, silver, platinum, etc.
Many people often think that silver is prone to allergies, but the truth is that the more you can put it in your mouth, as you can with sterling silver dinnerware, the less likely you are to be allergic to it. However, in order to make it easier to process and decorate, it is not made as pure silver, but mixed with other metals to strengthen the hardness to some extent.
That’s why many people who react to silver react to the nickel and other substances in the mixture.
Get a Patch Test if You are Concerned
A patch test, which can be performed by a dermatologist, is recommended as a way to find out which metal you are allergic to.
There are many dermatology clinics and hospitals with dermatology services that offer this service.
You should then determine which metal you are allergic to and the cause of your allergy.
5 Wedding Ring Materials that are Suitable for People with Metal Allergies
Titanium
Among the major metals, titanium is said to be the least likely to cause metal allergies.
Titanium is often used for medical purposes because of its lightness, strength, and resistance to rusting, so it can be used safely.
Another feature of titanium is its wide variety of colors, and rings with a wide range of color variations, such as gradient rings, are also available.
Zirconium
Zirconium is a silvery, shiny metal, and the most appealing thing about zirconium wedding bands is their colorful color. Also, the color of zirconium is not painted or tinted, but is created through a chemical reaction using a special technique that ensures that the color does not fade away. This material is also used for medical purposes. It is resistant to acids and alkalis and does not rust easily, making it suitable for everyday use.
Stainless steel
It is gaining attention these days because it is inexpensive and available with a brilliance that rivals that of platinum. It is rust-resistant and has a long-lasting shine. Surgical stainless steel, a type of stainless steel, is also useful in beam medicine. However, it should be noted that it may contain chromium and nickel.
Tantalum
Tantalum has the lowest light reflection of all metals and is characterized by a heavy bluish dark gray color. Called a rare metal, tantalum is the second rarest metal in the universe. Tantalum, which also boasts exceptional strength, is two to three times stronger than platinum, so it can be used safely for a long time. It is stable and unaffected by either acids or alkalis, and is becoming increasingly popular as an allergy-free material.
Platinum and Gold
Platinum and gold, two of the most popular materials for engagement rings, are said to be less likely to cause metal allergies because the metals do not dissolve through sweat. However, palladium and other substances may be mixed in to strengthen their hardness. In that case, you may develop a metal allergy, so it is important to ask carefully about the metals included and the percentage of metal content when you are considering purchasing.
So how about it? It is very important to understand your allergies and avoid the material you are allergic to so that you can continue wearing your wedding ring for a long time. Before you give up on your wedding ring because of a metal allergy, choose a wedding ring that you will spend the rest of your life with, eliminate your fears and choose one that you are comfortable with.
