Why Moissanite Jewelry Is the Best Hypoallergenic Choice: Metals, Settings & Skin Safety

Jewelry That Shines Without Irritation

For customers with sensitive skin, choosing jewelry isn’t just about style—it's about comfort, safety, and long-term wearability.
With Serelva’s commitment to refined minimalism and high-quality moissanite craftsmanship, we design jewelry you can wear every day without worrying about irritation or discoloration.

Moissanite is not only known for its exceptional brilliance—it’s also one of the safest gemstones for sensitive skin. When paired with high-quality hypoallergenic metals, it becomes the ideal choice for anyone seeking beauty without compromise.


What Makes Moissanite Hypoallergenic?

1. Moissanite Itself Is Non-Irritating

Moissanite is a lab-grown crystalline material composed of silicon carbide.
Because it contains no nickel, copper, cobalt, or dyes, it does not trigger common skin allergies.

  • Nickel-free

  • Chemically stable

  • Biocompatible with sensitive skin

This gives moissanite an inherent advantage over lower-quality gemstones or plated fashion jewelry.


2. High-Quality Metals Matter: What We Use at Serelva

Sensitive skin reactions typically come from the metal, not the gemstone.
This is why Serelva only uses hypoallergenic fine jewelry metals designed for everyday wear, including:

• 925 Sterling Silver with Platinum Plating

  • Nickel-free

  • Tarnish-resistant

  • Gentle on sensitive ears and skin

  • Adds a luxurious high-shine finish

Platinum plating is especially beneficial—it forms a barrier between your skin and the metal, preventing irritation and enhancing durability.

• Solid 14K Gold (for premium collections)

  • Naturally hypoallergenic

  • Ideal for lifelong keepsakes

  • Resistant to sweat, water, and everyday wear

• Surgical-grade Stainless Steel (for specific components)

Used sparingly for structural strength where needed, and always nickel-safe.

Together with moissanite, these metals deliver both brilliance and comfort.

Settings Designed for Skin Safety

Beyond the metal itself, responsible craftsmanship plays a major role in hypoallergenic performance.

At Serelva, every setting is designed with both aesthetic harmony and skin comfort in mind:

• Closed-back protection

Reduces exposure to prongs and base metal.

• Smooth micro-pavé finishing

Prevents friction or scratching during daily wear.

• Sweat-resistant plating

Keeps the metal barrier intact longer.

• Securely set stones

Avoids loose prongs that may irritate the skin.

Each detail ensures your moissanite jewelry feels as good as it looks.


Is Moissanite Waterproof and Safe for Daily Wear?

Yes.
Moissanite is extremely durable—second only to diamond on the Mohs hardness scale.

This means you can safely wear it:

  • while washing hands

  • during workouts

  • at the office

  • throughout everyday activities

It won’t cloud, discolor, or react with sweat or skincare products.
When combined with hypoallergenic metals, it becomes the perfect wear-all-day, every-day jewelry.

✓ Have nickel allergies
