Unfortunately, not many people know where to seek out anodized jewelry. Read the guide below on how to seek out anodized pieces, both costume and formal. Follow these tips to find jewelry that produces less skin reactions but has a beautiful shine.

• Piercing parlors often sell body jewelry that was designed for those with skin sensitivities or metal allergies. Don’t discount these places if you only have ear piercings; among their options for nose, navel and lip hardware are also more earring selections than you might think. Anodized jewelry or jewelry for sensitive skin may not be explicitly labeled; check with a knowledgeable staff member if you are not finding these items in the store. A lot of places can, and will be happy to, order the items you seek if they do not always carry them in stock. Check with the Association of Piercing Professionals to find a great piercing parlor near you.
• Artisan jewelers are a great source for finding anodized jewelry.
  • These artists can be found online via their social networking pages, professional websites, or etsy marketplaces.
  • Or take an up-and-close look at their wares by visiting them at their storefronts, stalls at craft fairs, or tents at your local farmer’s market.
• Find other local artists’ and artisans’ wares at art collectives or the gift shop of your local museums. Local talent is often sought to fill the shelves of these gift shops; it brings in more money to the museum while supporting local independent businesses.
• Jewelry shops and accessory boutiques occasionally carry anodized jewelry. Check out their website or call ahead to ensure they carry the items you are seeking.

As with any jewelry, discontinue use if you notice any kind of rash or skin discloration.
