  • Massive dredge.

    My wife had her ears pierced about a year ago, so want to get her a pair of ear rings for her birthday. She is allergic to gold, so have to avoid that, and wanted to go a bit classier than silver, so was thinking platinum, however, I just want a really simple pair of studs, no diamonds or anything on them, and don't seem to be able to find something similar anywhere, is this for a reason?!

  • Late reply to a dredged thread...

    And no doubt well past the birthday in question.

    Did you manage to find any platinum earrings?

    It's possible your wife may be allergic to some of the metals in the platinum alloy (similarly with gold).

    I (and several of the jewellers I work with) will Rhodium plate earing posts and backs etc for those with severe allergies when gold plating isn't enough.

  • Past the birthday, but always on the look out! she was allergic to a white gold ring, but has happily worn platinum rings for the last 10 years, so hoping she would be fine with platinum. I shall have a look out for Rhodium.
