If your skin reacts to most jewelry, our stainless steel collection was made for you. Every piece at PRYSM is made from hypoallergenic stainless steel with 14k gold PVD plating — no nickel, no copper exposure, no green skin. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) bonds gold to the steel at a molecular level, so the protective surface never peels or fades like traditional plating.
Waterproof, sweat-resistant, and backed by a 2-year warranty. Designed and made in Canada.
Why Stainless Steel Is Hypoallergenic
Most jewelry allergies are caused by nickel, which is found in brass, low-quality gold, and plated pieces. Surgical-grade stainless steel contains no free nickel — making it safe for even the most reactive skin. Combined with PVD plating, our pieces add a second layer of protection between the metal and your skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is stainless steel jewelry truly hypoallergenic? Yes. Surgical-grade stainless steel contains no nickel that can leach into skin. PRYSM's PVD coating adds extra protection.
Why does my skin react to "gold" jewelry? Most affordable gold jewelry is gold-plated over brass or copper. When the thin plating wears off, the base metal touches your skin and causes reactions. PVD stainless steel does not have this problem.
Will these pieces turn my skin green? No. Green skin is caused by copper oxidation. Our stainless steel pieces contain no copper in the surface layer that contacts your skin.
