Why are zinc plated clip levers healthier than nickel?
Many necktie clips are plated with nickel. Studies have found that nickel in direct and prolonged contact with the skin produces allergies. In 2001, the European Union banned the use of nickel plated products that come in contact with the skin. As part of our commitment to produce safe and high quality products, we changed our production to only zinc plating, which is considered much healthier.
