There are many reason to choose fibers as apposed to metal, but the biggest reason is allergies. 1 in four women who have worn or wear jewelry are allergic to metals, myself included, and is more common in women then in men. The most common metal to cause an allergic reaction is nickel. Nickel is even usually the reason behind break outs from 14k gold, do to its mixed content. It is rare, but possible to also be allergic to the pure 24k gold its self. So if you find yourself wanting to wear nice jewelry but allergic to most metal, why not try hemp or floss jewelry?
