I mean, if you actually had a piece made of 100% pure gold, it would be way too soft—you’d basically crush it just by looking at it too hard, haha. It wouldn't hold any shape! So, almost everything out there is mixed with other metals just to make it tough enough to actually wear. It’s kind of wild when you think about it, but yeah, that's just how it works.
That’s exactly why I put them in quotes, you know? 😉
So, okay, just a heads-up for anyone else dealing with this... I can only handle rings, bracelets, or necklaces if they are like, super close to pure gold or something. Seriously. Any of that cheap, junk gold or silver stuff? It totally wrecks my skin. I get these nasty rashes and these little watery blisters everywhere. It’s honestly such a pain.
Man, I’m telling you... even with the most high-end, hypoallergenic stuff out there, my ears just refuse to cooperate. It doesn't matter if it's supposedly the purest gold or some top-tier medical grade metal... my skin just reacts. It's like my body is on total warpath against anything piercing through my lobes. I guess some people just have that lucky skin that takes everything without a fuss, but not me. I've tried it all, and honestly? Total bust.
So, like, when that area starts turning green, it’s actually not even an allergy thing, I think? It's more like a reaction to some kind of substance being released through your sweat rather than a direct allergic trigger... I guess. Maybe? Just my two cents!
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Honestly, I just wear this one single silver bracelet... and yeah, it's totally fine, no issues at all. 😉
