Why aren't all earrings sold in pairs?
If we receive jewellery from our suppliers as single items then we sell it that way since not everyone has an even number of piercings.

How do I put the ball in a BCR?
BCRs can take a bit of practice. Line one dimple on the ball up with one side of the ring, holding it firmly push so that the other dimple clips into place.

 

Allergies

I'm allergic to my earrings, where do I start?
Titanium and niobium are two of the safest metals you can wear. Some people like to start with medical plastic or bioplast earrings while their ears settle down.

I'm allergic to nickel, what can I wear?
Titanium and niobium should be fine. Medical plastic and bioplast do not contain any metal. Surgical steel can cause a reaction if you are extremely sensitive to nickel.

What's the difference between titanium and niobium?
In terms of allergies there is no difference. Both are excellent choices whether you have metal allergies or not.

My child has metal allergies, what would be suitable?
Medical plastic earrings are the most popular choice for children. As a starting point we've put together a section of the most popular hypoallergenic earrings for children here.

Could I be allergic to titanium?
It is extremely rare but you can be allergic to anything. If you've had a reaction after wearing titanium jewellery then make sure it really is the jewellery and not something it has come into contact with such as soap, shampoo, etc.

What does hypoallergenic mean?
The word hypoallergenic means having a decreased tendency to provoke an allergic reaction. It should not be considered a guarantee that no one will react to an item of jewellery since it is possible to be allergic to anything.
