I have a metal allergy (specially to nickel) so it is very important that all my jewelry is made out of specific materials. Sadly that also means said jewelry becomes expensive. Adornia's prices are understandable based off the uniqueness and quality of some of their pieces. Plus its a female owned small business. I've worn these earings for tje past two days and have had no allergic reactions. Looking foward to che king out more of their jewelry.
