Hello everyone! We make our earrings out of hypo-allergenic silver for people with cheap metal allergies. This kind of metal is expensive, unlike the cheap metals, so it brings our prices up a little bit, but all in all it holds up a lot better. The price of silver is sky high right now and we can't afford to buy a roll of silver wire that is used in some earrings, like The Morning Glories. The part that goes in your ear is hypo allergenic silver, but the part where we use shaping wire is NOT silver. Under the pictures of earrings like this we will tell you what part is NOT silver. If you have any allergies, tell us in your order and we can help you!
