If you sell jewelry into the US — especially California — Prop 65 is unavoidable. It’s a right-to-know law with real labeling consequences.
The basics. Prop 65 requires a warning if a product exposes users to listed chemicals above safe-harbor levels. For jewelry, the focus is lead and cadmium in accessible parts, and phthalates in some components.
Label or reformulate. Most importers either source materials that test below thresholds, or add the standardized Prop 65 warning. Reformulating is cleaner; labeling is the fallback.
Practical steps. Get test reports for lead/cadmium on skin-contact and mouthable parts (children’s pieces are strictest). Keep a compliant-supplier shortlist. our EU nickel directive explainer cover lead-safe and nickel-free sourcing.
Note. Prop 65 is California law but widely adopted as a US baseline — treat it as national practice for risk reduction.
