Talking Allergies

I am wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge on what other metals in "fake silver jewelry" could cause a rash? I could possibly get a skin test and wait a few days for a horrible rash to begin, but I'm not that curious to know as whatever it is they don't make the jewelry without it. I've tried nickel-free but they hasn't helped. Any ideas or thoughts are welcome. I am fine with Surgical steel, Titanium(as far as I know), 10k White gold and up, and Platinum...now that I think about it, could it be silver itself?? But they don't put silver in the "fake" ones do they? Because...it would be more expensive...right...??? Well as I said, any ideas are welcome.

Anything can be in costume jewelry. You often hear about recalls due to high levels of lead. Do you think you could be allergic to the lead?

I react to random jewelry too, sometimes even high quality gold. I've found that I can only wear surgical steel earrings, absolutely nothing else (fortunately they're available at shoppers).

Hmmm, it's a terrible thing to say but I think there's lead my parent's house on the window sidings just because of the way the paint chips off though I could be very wrong. It's possible I could be allergic to lead....that's something to think about thanks Susan.

And Becky I'll have to look into Surgical steel jewelry. The only one I have is in my Industrial piercing.
