Concepts® Earrings for Sensitive Ears and Jewelry Promotions are proudly made in the USA by a family owned and operated company that cares. Our company, Concept Marketing, Inc., opened its doors in 1973 as a jewelry industry marketing firm. After a short time, the company embarked on a different path. Our founder, Larry Moore, developed a surgical stainless steel ear piercing stud that was safe for sensitive ears. An industry breakthrough, the nickel allergy free Concepts® ear piercing stud was doctor tested, and dermatologist recommended as part of a one-step ear piercing system. When Jewelers shared that their customers could wear the Concepts® ear piercing studs, but reported allergic reactions when they changed to other earrings, Larry developed Concepts® Earrings for Sensitive Ears, earrings that everyone could wear! After a published recommendation in a medical journal and gracing the cover of a national bridal magazine, Concepts® nickel allergy free earrings for sensitive ears hit the ground running!
