Does American Eagle jewelry contain lead?
Someone gave me some really nice necklaces from there yesterday but I'm wondering if they contain any lead since they're made in China. Has anyone tested theirs read online somewhere that they do?Thanks a lot in advance Chloe fyi no I do not plan on chewing on it, but if it is directly on the skin it can get into your bloodstream and is toxic. I'm fairly certain no jewelry is required to have lead, it's supposed to be the other way around actually, but thank you for your answer anyway.
Is it possible for jewelry to have the skin grow around it?
I have a cartilage piercing. The jewelry itself was kind of short but it was never uncomfortable. Tonight I touched it a realized there was a bubble around the backing. I took my piercing out and squeezed it a little and it popped with blood coming out. It must have happened just a few days ago because I don't remember it being like this even last night. Is it possible for the skin to attach itself to jewelry like an earring it was a simple stud if left in for a long peroid of time?What can I do to make sure it doesn't get worse?
Can titanium jewelry damage all porcelain crowns?
Hello. I recently got six all porcelain crowns on my front teeth. I have a titanium monroe piercing. Every once in awhile, I feel hear it click against the porcelain. I am wondering if the piercing can damage the crowns, and, if so, how long it would take for damage to occur and what kind of damage it would be. I had spaces inbetween my teeth before, so I never felt the piercing touch the teeth. Now, I'm worried.
I'm allergic to jewelry that contains nickel...?
When I wear necklaces, my neck breaks out and starts itching really bad. I found out there is something I can put on my jewelry to protect me from the nickel nickel solutions but I don't want to spend $20 and it possibly not work. Are there any other things I can try before investing my money? Someone suggested clear nail polish. Has anyone tried that?
What jewelry should I use during sex with a Prince Albert piercing?
Will a captive bead ring tear? If I use a ring, do I have to turn it or anything? Which feels best for me and her and what positions? My biggest fear is the thing tearing out, so should I wear a curved barbel or what? Thanks
What do you do if your nose piercing seals over the jewelry?
I have gotten a nose piercing about 5 days ago. And it all went well, no problems at all, respectable piercer, clean shop, everything. I have cleaned it, inside and out with saline solution. But when I went to school, fake piercings are all the rage amongst 6th grade girls and some guy decided that it wasn't real, so he could punch scratch it out of my face. Is that what caused it sealing? It looks like some odd bump, that I just noticed this morning Monday, December 12 , and I've triedto push it up, from the inside, but nothing has worked. Any suggestions? Thank you soooo much
Unhappily getting medic alert jewelry for the first time, but need advice from professionals?
I had an anaphylactic reaction to penecillin, ibuprofen, aspirin and lidocaine out of the blue ten years ago when they were all administered to me at once by a dentist.I have been pretty irresponsible about the sutuation since as far as carrying anything on me that indicates this. I am uneasy about wearing anything that identifies me as weak or vulnerable, especially because I'm already a small person.I have a few questions about medic alert jewelry 1 Would anyone think to look for a medic alert anklet or those shoe tags you slip onto your shoelaces? They seem like a much more discreet option, but if they would probably go unnoticed, I wouldn't get them.2 Should the jewelry have abbreviations for my allergies or the whole words for the medications that i can't have spelled out? Should it mention that I carry an epipen?3 I saw bracelets that look nothing like medic alerts on a website. For example, leather cuffs with the little cross thing stamped into the leather on the front and medical info stamped onto the back. Would medical workers look at anything I wear on my wrist, neck, shoes,etc enough to notice it was a medic alert? I wear a ton of rings and other jewelry, so that might be a task.Any info is helpful, because I don't know much about this and I'm doing it rather grudgingly, with the knowledge that it's the responsible thing to do. I'd rather get something that looks nothing like a medic alert, or is concealed, such as on my ankle, but if that's a bad idea, I guess I'll just do what I should. Ugh.Thanks in advance
Would it be a bad idea to stretch my ears if I'm allergic to fake jewelry?
It's just my right ear that reacts. It'll swell and then it hurts if I try to put the earring back in. I really want to stretch my ears and I'm not too sure if it'll be a good idea considering the situation.
Any info on alpaca/camel bone jewelry?
a bit bizzar, but has anyone here ever heard of jewelry being made out of alpaca or camel bone? i am trying to find some kind of either feather, wing or angel pendant or charm online to make my own necklace as i cant find one ready made that i like, but i dont want to spend loads skint but also want it to be something special as its to represent my angel baby, long story short, most charms etc look really cheap and not very special, but i have found some alpaca camel bone earrings would remove the hook and use it as a pendant they are very striking looking and certainly something special but i can not find any info online about wearing bone for jewelry, for example, is it crule? feel a bit reluctant for this reason is it safe? cant help but wonder what diseases bones could carry not sure if my worry is a bit extream though? and also how fragile is it? as i plan on wearing it 24 7 not just once in a while... any info would be fab if anyone has any better idea... i am a bit stumped
How do I treat skin discoloration caused from jewelry?
I recently replaced my normal steel nose jewelry with a plastic retainer for a job interview. Prior to this, I had a perfectly healed nostril piercing. It looked wonderful. The plastic caused a reaction that caused discoloration on part of my nostril. I know it's from that because I replaced it with the steel again after extensive cleaning and the swelling that had also been present diminished, along with a fair amount of the discoloration. However, some still remains. Since I have no insurance, I made it a point to make sure to call my doctor. It's not an infection. The symptoms of one are no longer present if there was one at all. Now it's just that dark coloring. I'm very pale and the color is more of a tannish kind of flesh color now. I can be thankful for that because at least it is not red anymore.I've been steaming it with a hot compress which seems to help a TON, but does anyone know of anything else I can do? I wouldn't even mind this if it was on my ears or other piercings on my body, but of course it has to be on my nose where everyone can see it.Thanks so much, guys

Does a blue mark on your skin from metal jewelry indicate anemia, or is this normal?
I just took a necklace off and noticed a blue line where it was touching my skin all day. I have not noticed any other signs of anemia such as fatigue or dizziness, and I'm wondering if this is normal or if the line might be an indicator that I am possible anemic.Thanks for your help everyone, I'm just being cautious because I'm a serious runner and my season is about to start... something like anemia could ruin it unless I take action now.
