----------------------------

Hypoallergenic Jewelry is made from materials less likely to cause an adverse skin reaction. Any metal mixture of 2 or more metals is called an alloy. Elements are alloyed to achieve different properties such as strength, malleability, durability, tarnish-resistance and sometimes just color preference.

A little background on Stainless Steel
- 316L stainless steel. 316L stainless steel is defined by its low carbon content: no more than 0.03% carbon. In general, its composition is between 16-18% chromium and between 10-14% nickel (as well as trace amounts of manganese, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur and nitrogen)

----------------------------

A little background on Sterling Silver
Some pure metals, such as silver, are too soft in their pure elemental state and bend and scratch quite easily. So Jewelers will add 2 different metals together to strengthen the metal. The result is a metal alloy called "sterling silver" which is much harder. To make sterling silver you would alloy 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% copper to achieve a stronger more durable metal.

----------------------------

A little background on Brass
The composition of brass, generally 66% copper and 34% zinc which makes it a favorable substitute for copper in costume jewelry and fashion jewelry, as it exhibits greater resistance to corrosion. Brass is not as hard as bronze, and so is not suitable for most weapons and tools.
