FAQ

Contact allergy is an allergic skin reaction from contact with a substance. It can develop at any time in life and you can for example become allergic to nickel if you use jewellery containing nickel.

Approximately 10-20% of the population suffer from nickel allergy. Although nickel allergy is the most common type of contact allergy, jewellery can contain many other allergens, such as cobalt, gold, epoxies and acrylates.

They may also contain toxic, carcinogenic or otherwise unhealthy substances, such as lead, cadmium, formaldehyde, phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA).

Blomdahl skin friendly jewellery is developed in consultation with dermatologists to be suitable for everyone who wants to avoid contact allergies and other health risks. Using only the safest materials, Blomdahl is recommended for children and adults who want to be able to wear jewellery every day, without having to worry about their skin and health.

It means that there should be no nickel in the jewellery. However, the unfortunate truth is that even if jewellery is marked nickel-safe/ nickel-tested/ nickel-free, the jewellery may still contain nickel. This is because nickel is present in virtually all metals even the purest metals have trace amount of nickel. 

Some manufacturers define "nickel free" as free of nickel in the plating or overlay but utilise nickel alloys in the base metal to increase durability and reduce the cost of goods. The warm humid weather in Singapore and sweat can cause the plating to wear and nickel from the base metal to leak, thus an allergic reaction to the nickel in the base metal can still occur.

The EU Nickel Directive (2004/96/EC) limits the amount of nickel that jewelry is allowed to leak. However, even if these guidelines are being followed, people who are extra sensitive are still at risk of developing nickel allergy.

For earrings, you can choose from carefully selected medical grade quality titanium. Our colour coating is only applied to the portion of the earrings that don’t come into close contact with your skin. The part of the earrings which are constantly in contact with your skin are always made from pure, medical titanium.

Bracelets and necklaces from Blomdahl have a beautiful and skin friendly gold or silver coloured coating which has been applied on high quality surgical, stainless steel (316L). As chains and pendants do not sit as close to the skin as rings, earrings do, they can be completely covered with our skin friendly coating. To protect your skin and your health, Blomdahl uses a coating that has been developed in consultation with dermatologists. This unique, ceramic (durable) coating makes the bracelets and necklaces up to 300 times safer, compared to the same jewellery without this coating. Therefore our skin friendly jewellery is suitable for everybody, even if you have nickel allergy.

Everyone experiences ear piercing differently. Some say it burn a little, others that they can barely feel it at all. Although children may have longed for getting their ears pierced, it sometimes happens that they change their mind after the first hole. Because of this, Blomdahl have developed medical simultaneous ear piercing, which means that both earlobes are pierced at the same time. The whole procedure is faster, safer and is more comfortable for the child.

Watch our video to see how an ear piercing is carried out in a safe way using Blomdahl.

Approximately 10-20% percent of the population suffer from nickel allergy, which is the most common form of contact allergy. Contact allergies can develop at any time in life, and an ear piercing makes the skin more vulnerable to inappropriate materials, such as nickel, gold, palladium, cobalt and so on. That is why Blomdahl use only the safest materials. Our piercing earrings are developed in consultation with dermatologist to be suitable for everyone, even those who have the most sensitive of skin and suffer from allergies. 

Pure medical titanium is the safest metal. It is the same type of material that is used for medical purposes, for example in dental implants. Therefore, if you wear earrings made from pure, medical titanium, you will not have to worry about nickel and other harmful substances.

Medical ear piercing from Blomdahl is based upon what within the health care industry is known as “modern aseptic technique” and is carried out using sterile disposable products. This means that our products and methods are safely designed in order to avoid the spreading of infections when piercing.

Our piercing earrings are developed in consultation with skin specialists to be suitable for everyone, even those who have sensitive skin and suffer from allergies. The piercing earrings are designed to facilitate the healing process. For instance, the earring backs on Blomdahl piercing jewellery are always fixed at the tip of the post where it encapsulates the tip.The piercing jewellery is also designed to make the hole slightly wider in the beginning, which eases the switch to normal earrings after the healing period.

Our quality-assured manufacturing takes place in Halmstad, Sweden, in accordance with ISO 13485, an international quality standard for medical devices. This means that we have full control and traceability over all stages of production, from materials used to finished product.

An ear piercing is in fact a small wound. It is important to take proper care of it throughout the healing period (approx. 6–12 weeks), in order to avoid it getting infected. By following the aftercare instructions, you can minimize the risk of infection. In the written aftercare instructions, you are advised to clean the hole thoroughly twice a day, using soap and water or Blomdahl Piercing Aftercare cleansing swabs, which are gentle on the skin and easy to use.

If you have had an earlobe pierced, you can remove and replace the piercing earring after 6 weeks, at the earliest. It takes longer for a hole in the cartilage to heal, so if you have had your cartilage pierced, we recommend that you leave the piercing earring for at least 12 weeks.
