Can you wear jewelry without taking it off?

Nowa­days, any woman can pur­chase as jew­el­ry what­ev­er her soul desires. Rings, bracelets, pen­dants, chains, clip-on ear­rings, beads, brooches, ear­rings, medal­lions — all this splen­dor involves the use of a vari­ety of mate­ri­als in their man­u­fac­ture.

Mod­ern pro­duc­tion offers bijouterie and jew­el­ry made of pre­cious met­als, plas­tic, wood, glass, stone and even clay. Fea­tures of choice in this case depend sole­ly on the woman her­self. Only she can decide what best suits her cho­sen style — an expen­sive ring with a lux­u­ri­ous dia­mond for a social event or a bright plas­tic trin­ket for the beach. And it often hap­pens that a woman likes jew­el­ry so much that it lit­er­al­ly “sticks” to her body.

In oth­er words, a ring, ear­rings or a chain with a pen­dant is worn for months, or even years, with­out being removed. How harm­less is it to the health of the body and is it worth wear­ing jew­el­ry or jew­el­ry on your­self for so long? A com­pe­tent answer to this ques­tion can be giv­en by spe­cial­ists from the field of der­ma­tol­ogy, since all jew­el­ry has direct con­tact with human skin.

What should be feared?

Maria Pere­do, a der­ma­tol­o­gist at the New York Hos­pi­tal who works with many Hol­ly­wood celebri­ties, believes that you can wear your favorite chain, ring and ear­rings for a long time. But there is noth­ing to wor­ry about if the jew­el­ry can be cleaned reg­u­lar­ly. How­ev­er, regard­ing jew­el­ry, she has a rad­i­cal­ly oppo­site opin­ion. Maria claims that such jew­el­ry often caus­es aller­gies in the form of peel­ing or red­ness of the skin, so they must be removed every evening before going to bed or imme­di­ate­ly after the end of the work­ing day.

In addi­tion to aller­gies, there is anoth­er con­cept known as jew­el­ry sen­si­tiv­i­ty. The skin of dif­fer­ent women reacts dif­fer­ent­ly to the same prod­uct. You should also not adhere to the very com­mon opin­ion that gold and sil­ver jew­el­ry are hypoal­ler­genic and can­not cause skin sen­si­tiv­i­ty. The fact is that most jew­el­ry con­tains addi­tives of oth­er raw mate­ri­als, to which the skin may react inad­e­quate­ly. There­fore, in this case, the approach to the choice of prod­ucts should be strict­ly indi­vid­ual.

Top five pieces of jew­el­ry that are usu­al­ly worn for a very long time

We want­ed to list the jew­el­ry that, as a rule, women do not like to part with for a long time:

• Ear­rings in the form of car­na­tions.

The con­ve­nient design of these prod­ucts makes it pos­si­ble to secure­ly fix it on the ear­lobe and “for­get” about it for a long time. The design fea­tures of most of these ear­rings allow them to fit per­fect­ly with any style of cloth­ing.

• Chain with a cross.

A pec­toral cross — a tal­is­man against evil spir­its, is worn by many from birth after the rite of Bap­tism. The church rec­om­mends not to take off either before going to bed, or even while tak­ing water pro­ce­dures.

• Wed­ding ring.

This sym­bol of fideli­ty and mar­riage is worn by new­ly­weds and old­er peo­ple in love, thus con­firm­ing their sta­tus as a mar­ried per­son.

• Small pen­dant.

Very often, such jew­el­ry is worn even under cloth­ing, with­out show­ing off. Espe­cial­ly pop­u­lar are medal­lions with a lid, where you can hide a small pho­to of a loved one or child as a keep­sake.

• Bracelet in the form of a chain.

Ele­gant and ver­sa­tile, such jew­el­ry is suit­able for any hand and almost any out­fit.

Whether or not to remove a chain or a ring before going to bed is up to you. At the same time, it is worth cit­ing inter­est­ing sta­tis­tics on this mat­ter. It has been proven that most of the dam­age and loss of jew­el­ry occurs dur­ing sleep. And who knows, maybe for you it will become a weighty enough argu­ment to put your favorite thing on the dress­ing table before going to bed.
