Plain & Twist Tube Sterling Silver Beads

This is an important question that many customers ask because it is critical to want your buyers or family/friends to be allergy-free when they wear your creations. The good news is that Xinar’s jewelry, beads, and findings have always been nickel-free. Therefore, our entire sterling silver inventory is essentially hypoallergenic and will not cause nickel allergies.

Our sterling silver tube beads do not contain nickel, not even 1%, because, in the US, the law states that sterling silver must be made with silver and copper only. So we can only guarantee the purity of our sterling silver beads – once you go out to other stores, there’s no telling if you’re genuinely getting sterling silver.

Many stores are known to pad the descriptions of their items, never honestly telling customers that they offer only silver-plated items and not 925 sterling silver. This can be problematic once the microns-thin layer of silver begins to fade and the skin comes into contact with whatever metal happens to be underneath. What if the base metal for these non-sterling silver items has nickel content? That’s going to be hard to reverse once your creations have already been given away or sold.
