Q: Where are Concepts Earrings Made?

A: Proudly Made in the USA, assembled, packaged & distributed from the Concepts Factory in Morehead City, North Carolina.

 

Q: What are Concepts Earrings?

A: Dermatologist recommended Concepts Earrings are nickel allergy free. The Concepts gold tone styles are made of strong stainless steel with pure 24 karat gold; the silver tone styles are made of highly polished stainless steel; Concepts 14Kt Gold and Concepts Sterling silver are made without the nickel alloy. Sterling silver is .925.

 

Q: Why Do Concepts Not Irritate Sensitive Ears?

A: All parts of the earrings are made safe for sensitive ears. Unlike other products, Concepts are made from one piece of surgical stainless steel or from more than one piece that is essentially made into one piece: when made from more than one piece, the pieces are electronically fusion welded together, so that there are no irritating solders

 

Q: What Causes Earring Problems?
A: Nickel is present in virtually all metals, but the potential to cause an allergic reaction is determined by the density of the metal, or how tightly the nickel is bound into the metal. Gold for instance is a very porous and soft metal, and nickel is usually one of the alloys used for hardness and brightness in 14kt or 18kt gold. Because gold is porous, nickel may be released onto the skin and cause an allergic reaction for millions of people who have sensitivity to nickel. Concepts earrings are made nickel allergy free. You can purchase Concepts with confidence: purchase price refund guarantee!

 

Q: Why Concepts Earrings for Sensitive Ears?

A: Concepts unique use of surgical stainless steel in producing a complete earring assortment has been the fashion savior for "Nickel Sensitive" people. Dr. Frank C. Koranda, a noted dermatologist from Shawnee Mission, KS, explains that "in stainless steel, the nickel is so tightly bound that essentially none is released."* Dr. Koranda has tested Concepts Earrings and recommends Concepts to his nickel-sensitive patients.

 

Q: What are the Symptoms of Allergic Contact Dermatitis?

A: Symptoms range in severity from slight redness and irritation to soreness, itching, draining and cracked skin on the ear lobes.

 

Q: How can a nickel-sensitive people take care of this problem?

A: According to Dr. Koranda, "the only definite treatment of Allergic Contact Dermatitis (nickel sensitivity) is avoidance of the causative agents..."* in other words these individuals must stop wearing those earrings that irritate their ears. "These (Concepts) earrings have been tested by us on a series of nickel-sensitive patients and they did not cause dermatitis."*

 

Q: What makes Concepts different from other "hypo-allergenic" or "sensitive" earrings?

A: Concepts are made so that all parts that touch the ear are safe for Sensitive Ears. To achieve a "golden" look, surgical steel parts are electroplated with a thick layer of 24kt gold. The gold finish has a lifetime guarantee. Concepts now offers 14kt Gold or Sterling Silver made Safe for Sensitive Skin! With Concepts your satisfaction is always guaranteed!

 

Q: Why do some people suddenly develop problems wearing pierced earrings?

A: The body chemistry of individuals may change periodically. Individuals who could wear any form of jewelry may suddenly develop a reaction and not be able to wear earrings, watches, rings, necklaces, etc.

Q: What are the instructions for caring for Newly Pierced Ears?
A: How to Care for Newly Pierced Ears:

Clean your ears twice a day with Ear Magic.

First saturate one end of the swab (dip cotton swab in ear magic.)

Gently push earring from back and clean between earring and ear lobe. (dip the clean side of the swab.) Do the same between the earlobe and earring back.

Do not twist or turn the earrings, just push forward and back to clean.

Do not remove the studs for the first 6 weeks.

Careful to not snag your earrings on clothing, towels or by other means.

Cosmetics & hair spray should not come in contact with earlobes. Cover earlobes with hand or paper cup when using sprays.

Clean after swimming, showering, heavy exercise or if lobs become soiled between cleanings.

WEAR STUDS 4-6 WEEKS WITHOUT REMOVING

After removing the first time, do no go without earrings for the next 12 months.

Avoid wires for 6 months and always avoid heavier styles.

Continue to clean ears twice daily with Ear Magic.

Do not wear your earrings too tightly.

If lobes should become irritated you may be having an allergic reaction to the nickel used in making fashion and 14Kt gold pierced earrings. In case of injury / irritation reinsert piercing studs until healed and consult your doctor.

Concepts Earrings for Sensitive Ears are made non-irritating for sensitive ears. Look for Concepts at your favorite place to shop for jewelry.
