Nickel-free and lead-safe are among the most searched jewelry claims — and among the easiest to misuse. For wholesale buyers, getting the language right protects customers and your reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What do “nickel-free” and “lead-safe” labels actually certify?
They certify the piece meets regulated release limits for nickel and lead under standards like REACH and CPSIA — not that the metal contains zero of these elements. We document the exact standard per SKU.
Q: How can I verify a supplier’s compliance claims?
Request the material disclosure sheet and, for larger orders, third-party test reports. Our material spec sheet guide shows what to look for.
Q: Do your pieces carry these labels?
Yes, on request. Request a quote and we will attach compliance documentation to your RFQ.
