In Australia, it's a shame that there are no strict rules about using terms like 'hypoallergenic' and 'nickel free' in jewelry marketing. This means companies can claim their jewelry is safe for allergies or doesn't have nickel, even if it's not true.
Most companies say their jewelry is nickel free because nickel often causes allergic reactions, especially with earrings. But when companies get their jewelry from different places, they can't always control the quality or materials used. China is a big source of imported jewelry claiming to be hypoallergenic or nickel free. So, it's fair for consumers to question if these claims are real.
How can a consumer possibly know? By choosing to buy from elite brands with their own manufacturing capability.
Jewellery brands like Pandora and Swarovski manufacture everything they sell. They have 100% quality control over what they offer. Although these brands do not focus on hypoallergenic or skin friendly materials, their commitment to quality and design is unquestionable.
When it comes to allergy safe earrings and jewellery only one company can guarantee the purity of their products – Blomdahl.
The Blomdahl Difference
Blomdahl has been committed to developing hypoallergenic and nickel-free jewellery for those with sensitive skin or a nickel allergy for over 30 years. Our customers are always thrilled because they can ACTUALLY wear jewellery again.
All Blomdahl jewellery is developed in consultation with skin specialists and manufactured in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Halmstad, Sweden.
To ensure our quality from a medical perspective, Blomdahl chooses to manufacture to internationally recognized standards for medical devices. To the best of our knowledge, Blomdahl jewellery is the best choice for those with sensitive skin or nickel allergy because we are the only company manufacturing jewellery items to medical device standards and using medical grade – implant level – materials. All the materials used in our earrings are FDA approved for use inside the human body.
To manufacture this way requires constant third-party monitoring of all manufacturing processes. The Blomdahl facility is ISO certified by Intertek. Intertek is a legitimate third-party regulator, doing an in-depth analysis and monitoring of all materials and processes. This sets us apart from other companies that merely claim excellence without substantiation – we possess concrete evidence of our standards.
Many of our items are made in a negative pressure clean room. All of the medical grade titanium we use is inspected and x-rayed before being allowed on the factory floor.
