Excellent and very informative. I was always told that these crystals were LEAD FREE, when in fact there is some content of lead. I personally am not freaked out by the lead content…this is a huge part of making beautiful crystal. I’ll be passing on this article to my friends in crafting. It’s good knowledge.

Hi, everyone. I am trying very hard to manufacture a product that is lead-safe. The company I chose in India has assured me that, with an extra small charge, my rosary would be absolutely safe. Although they are a good company, I am having the rosary tested here in the US.

My question: I need a referral for packaging and am unsure how much lead would be present in clamshell packaging and blister packs. Does anyone know of a company who could design some packaging with the thought of it being lead free?

Thanks for any help.

Pat

Hi There,
Does anybody know the amount of lead in the Pure Allure/Crystal Innovations Butterfly sliders?I have contacted a company that sells it on the internet and they told me the metal part is made of Zinc and then Silver plated ,but they did not mention the crystal.I want to know the amount of lead in the crystal.
Is there any email available to contact a Swarovski rep?
If anyone know,please let me know.
Thank you

Hi There! My name is Glenna Ritt and I own Heaven’s Garden Jewelry Design in California. I just wanted to let you know that I spoke with a representative named Ann at the California State level, and she has told me that Swarovski crystals are find to be used in any jewelry for adults…without limits…as also stated by the Swarovski rep in this post. She mentioned that they will be updating their FAQ section of the government site for AB 1681 in the next few days because they have received SO many questions about Swarovski crystals in general. This was good news to me, so I wanted to pass it along. Happy beading! =) Glenna

I’m seeing more and more about this and the other “dangerous” substances that can be mixed in with the beads and findings that are available – thanks for joining other blogs that are keeping this in the public eye. It’s important, as most people don’t even know or think about this. We’ve got huge problems trying to source suppliers who can 100% guarantee their products do not contain lead or nickel, and it makes us liable if were to accidentally supply something that would cause people problems – leaving us with the default stance of “if we aren’t completely sure, don’t sell it”.

Thanks again
