I'm Shima from gemish, a natural stone accessory brand.
The weather has been getting hotter and hotter, but when did the summer heat become so severe?
When it's hot, you sweat a lot, so some people may have experienced allergies when wearing accessories. Before I started using gemish, I also bought cheap accessories and ended up with itching.
Gold is a metal that does not corrode easily even with sweat, so it is unlikely to cause allergic reactions. (Allergic reactions vary from person to person, so this does not apply to everyone.)
So while many people are fine with pure gold (24K), pure gold is too soft for jewelry, so it is mixed with other metals (silver or copper) to make jewelry.
Most gold accessories sold in Japan are either K18 or K10. The K〇〇 is the ratio of metals mixed into the gold, and K18 has a higher gold content than K10, so many people buy K18 because they say "K18 doesn't make you itchy."
If you're having trouble finding summer accessories, try some 18K accessories at home.
