Jewellery, manufactured from silver by many experts is not recommended, even after the healing process is ended. Therefore, if the earring out of the metal caused irritation, it is necessary to find an alternative to silver.

Products made of gold - one of the safest. But it is not necessary to save and purchase of low-grade metal earrings, because they have a lot of impurities.
