- Concepts are made so that
all parts that touch the ear are safe for Sensitive Ears. Both fronts and posts are
complete pure surgical stainless steel. Dangles and beads are either steel, or tested
plastics, which will not cause irritations.
- Concepts' Surgical steel is a very durable, yet hard metal, which makes
it perfect for post, but more difficult and costly for use in the manufacturing of the
front or dangle parts of earrings because the steel wears out the tooling. Often earrings
will have "surgical posts", however the fronts and dangles are not surgical, and
cause irritations to sensitive women.
- Concepts are traditionally lighter in weight that cast earrings.
- The finish of Concepts lasts for decades, where as the finish on many
nickel free products can change within months, especially with women who have high acidic
skin, which is often the case with sensitive women.
- Base metal fashion earrings are often nickel plated prior to plating with
gold. This layer of nickel allows the gold to hold onto the base metal. On some nickel
free earrings, while the casting of the front is nickel free, and the posts are often
"nickel free cast" or surgical steel, the method used in the joining of the
fronts and the backs can cause irritations. With Concepts, we make sure that all parts
that touch the ears are completely allergy free.
- 14 Kt gold is 14 parts gold, and 10 parts alloys. (18 Kt is 18 parts
gold, 6 parts alloys.) Nickel is a common alloy, making the gold harder and brighter.
Often solders and gold used for joining earrings contain nickel or other irritants.
