These tunnel hangers have a hinged clasp so you can comfortably wear them in the ear or through a (hence the name). Just pop them in and go! These hangers are 316LVM surgical steel and metal alloy. We prefer this grade of surgical steel for our body jewelry because it goes through a process called low vacuum melting. This process removes nickel from the steel to make it hypoallergenic. Nickel is one of the most common causes of metal allergies. This process unfortunately cannot remove 100% of the nickel, however, so there's still a small chance those with severe allergies will react. The gold PVD is more durable and longer-lasting than traditional plating. Those with allergies may react. If you are worried about metal allergies, we recommend looking at our anodized, blackline or untreated titanium jewelry. Titanium is biocompatible and hypoallergenic. These reasons are why doctors use implant grade titanium for surgical implants. The charm is a metal alloy, which is ideal for casting and makes them perfect for jewelry with fine details. Many people have sensitivities to these alloys and may react. Metal Alloys with a PVD coating can help negate this reaction, but they may still irritate those with the strongest sensitivities. To avoid turning green, metal alloy jewelry is recommended to be cleaned often and not worn in moist/sweaty places.
