Hi.
I'm looking into purchasing a pair of 10k white gold earrings (with posts made from the same metal). I have very sensitive ears and they usually get irritated when I wear earrings (which I never do now). I'm guessing I have a metal allergy, probably a nickel one. Most of my earrings are not high-end. I was walking around in sterling silver earrings yesterday and my ears seemed fine. Tricks like putting Neosporin on the earrings seems to help as well.
I've heard that white gold contains nickel. Are these earrings going to irritate me? I love the look and I'm ready to buy them, but I'm afraid I'll get a reaction.
