well i have a unique issue, i need advice about jewerly, i am allgric to most metals, like gold and sterling silver. what others should i try? without getting too expensive?

[KristyGirl]

If you're looking for rings, I'd try titanium.

[LaceyinPgh]

Again, if looking for rings like Kristy said, try tungsten.

My cousin's wife has the same problem. Luckily money was not a big issue to them. She can wear platinum. Unfortunately platinum is expensive. If you cannot find a metal that works with your skin find an alternative to a wedding ring. Figure out something unique and meaningful. I have heard of people tattooing a band around their finger. That is not what I personally would do, but for some it works. I can't really think of anything else right now that I have heard about or seen, but you might be able to.

Welcome to the board by the way!

As for your metal allergy, do you know what it is in the metal that bothers you? (ie: nickle) Most ppl that I've know that were allergic to metals it was actually the nickle that bothered them. If this is your issue, then I think Titanium might be the way to go. I don't know much about Tungsten, but that would be worth looking in to as well.

Here is an article I found about alternative metals - http://www.asia-gems.com/jewelry/alternative-metals.php

Try titanium, it is supposed to be one of, if the least reactive metal to humans. In fact most surgical implants (like knee replacements or pins) are made of titanium b/c of that.

Lol oh yes...I have a titanium implant (root) for a tooth that had to be removed...I was concerned because some metals I am allergic to, the surgeon reassured me that having a reaction to titanium is so rare!


So yes, do check into titanium. ;)

This is similar to what I was going to suggest. We had a girl on here (Carrie) that was looking at some really pretty wooden rings.

I have the same problem. For my rings, my FH went to e-bay to find a titanium ring. They have awesome deals. Good luck, and welcome to the board!:p
