Gold or silver are both metals that will not alloy (bond) with lead.
So the production of 14 KT gold or .925 sterling mixed with this
dangerous metal is scientifically impossible. The CSPS's new
chairperson has entered a memorandum into the federal register which
finally concludes that gold over 10 karat, sterling silver, and certain
natural materials including diamonds and pearls are within the new
compliance guidelines of being under 100 ppm. of lead. In this
complaince level no testing is required to prove these items are unsafe
for kids. We are happy that we have presented only plumb gold and
sterling silver to the children's marketplace and will continue to sell
items that are safe for consumers both young and old. |
We string as your child grows. Simply send your pearl bracelet back with
the new length required. We will restring, add pearls, clean and polish
your piece and return it to you within 10 days. This cost is $10
including freight.
Another tip: Plastics
Avoid any plastics in jewelry components because there is a chance
the child could be exposed to melamine poisoning as the Chinese
experienced with a baby formula scandal. They may also be choking
hazards. None of our pearls is larger than a pea.
