Just wanted to offer advice to other people out there who have nickel allergies. Instead of constantly worrying about sweating, buying hypo-allergenic jewelry and putting barrier creams on, you can create a barrier on the jewelry itself. I've heard that a lot of people use the old clear nail polish technique. This is so unfortunate, as I'm sure it ruins the jewelry. Kind of a shame, esp if you're using it on wedding rings or family heirlooms. Anyway there's a product out there now called Super Surface Eco and it was developed in Japan. It was now recently made available on the internet and you can purchase it using PayPal and have it shipped to North America. The price is more than you'd pay for a product in North America but the components in the product is what makes the difference. It contains quartz, not cheap resins, like a lot of those $5.00 products out there on the internet. It will last much much longer and you won't have to worry about ruining your nice jewelry. Here's the website for any of those interested: http://glassskin.net/english/about.html Hope it works for you too! Hi there.

I have no problem with it, but I know some who do. I'm glad for them that they have these alternatives you speak of. I wonder why some people have a reaction to nickel and some don’t.
