Is Sterling Silver Jewellery Hypoallergenic?

Updated at 2025-04-09


Yes β€” 925 sterling silver is generally hypoallergenic, which makes it a great choice for sensitive skin or metal allergies.

However, sterling silver is an alloy, made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper. In rare cases, that small amount of copper can cause irritation for people with extreme sensitivities.


What You Should Know:

  • We use only high-quality, nickel-free 925 sterling silver
  • Our jewellery is suitable for most skin types
  • If you’re unsure, we recommend testing it gently before wearing it for extended periods

Compared to other metals like stainless steel (which may contain nickel), sterling silver is often the go-to material for people with allergies.
