I have a skin allergy that's pretty common- I can't wear any cheap metal jewelry or it can give me a rash. I can wear silver or gold and any of that "sensitive solutions" stuff, so I never really have a problem finding jewelry. But my boyfriend bought me this really cute red choker with a metal clasp, and I love it, but when I wear it I get itchy red bumps on the skin the metal touches.
Is there anything I can coat the metal part with so it won't irritate my skin? I hear clear nail polish works but I'm wondering if there are any other options. Thanks!

Instead, find a jewelry store where you can buy a stearling silver or hypoalergenic clasp. A nice jewelry store should be able to help you out. Some bead stores would have what you need as well, but then you would need to find someone who knew what they were doing to actually make the switch.
