    Hello Diana, If your customer is ONLY sensitive to nickle, standard
    sterling alloy with copper or fine silver should be OK, as would be
    platinum or most yellow gold alloys. I'm sure you will learn that
    some stainless steel alloys do contain nickle, and how in the heck
    would you or she know which ones those are? 

    Do suggest sterling if she wants white metal settings.  She could
    tape a small bit of sterling to her forearm and "road test" it. Best
    wishes for a happy customer, Judy in Kansas
