I just got a sale on Etsy, but this one was a little interesting. I created these owl earrings and the customer wanted to know if they were "Nickel Free" shamefully, I did not know. I contacted the supply store from which I purchased my findings, and they did not know either!Highly upsetting. This compelled me to make a few calls, troll the net, in order to find nickel free findings that would match the brass toned earrings that I made. After my searching, I found silver and gold toned nickel free findings but not brass toned. My customer was more than understanding, she still wanted to purchase the piece with the silver toned nickel free earring hooks.
You live, and learn. I guess now I could start bumbling with the creation of a new line of nickle free/hypoallergenic products. It would be upsetting to be limited in choice of jewelry designs because of allergies. So, I'll do my part in broadening the availablities.
