Guest guest Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Dear Professor, My girlfriend, Teresa is having difficulty wearing the Kavach on a white gold chain. She says that it irritates the skin and makes her body itch. Is there another way to wear the Kavach? What other alternatives are there?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hi John: Sorry to jump in here, but I am a jeweler and it highly possible that the white gold chain is a nickel alloy of white gold, especially if it was obtained in the US. Almost all white gold sold in the States is a has nickel in the alloy. If I remember right, almost 10% of the population has a allergic reaction to nickel. Nickel is banned in the white gold alloys used in Europe. An alternative would be to use a palladium based white gold alloy. It is a premium product so would cost more, but you could also consider a platinum, titanium or stainless steel chain. Titanium is light, really tough and usually hypo allergenic. It is my choice for people who wear something constantly like religious medals and something like the kavach. Stay away from base metal chains. You could always use bead cord that you could find at any beading store. It's hard to beat the comfort of a waxed cotton stringing cord about 1mm in width. It needs to be replaced every so often but it is tough and comfortable. Let me know if I can be of any service.
