What jewelry is 'safe' to wear if you have severe metal sensitivity/allergy?

Asked by augustlan (47745points) June 15th, 2012

Pretty much all metal except high karat yellow gold eats my skin, including white gold, rose gold, surgical steel, so-called hypoallergenic stuff, and whatever the buttons on jeans and the backs of watches are made out of, . I can’t even wear silver earrings for an hour without my ears bleeding. Problem is, I’m much more of a silver girl, and don’t like very much gold jewelry. I haven’t tried platinum, titanium or palladium… are any of those good options for me?

Specifically, I’m looking to replace my silver wedding ring (which I haven’t worn in years due to this issue). It’s not a very traditional ring, and I prefer something with a hand-made feel. Ideally it would be some kind of ‘white’ metal, but I am willing to consider non-metal alternatives, too. Do you have any suggestions?
