#XRFTesting: Lead Free Children’s Jewelry; Alex & Ani

Alex & Ani Bracelets: Lead Free, Cadmium Free, Mercury Free, Arsenic Free!
All components tested on bracelets pictured below.

Please note:  I cannot personally guarantee that all items from this brand will be lead free. Several are listed as having “crystals” which could be leaded (and cannot be assumed to be unleaded.) Only the specific ones I tested were lead-free (see pictures below.)

Newly made / recently made costume jewelry made and sold as intended for children is usually lead free, but not always. Note: when making choices for children, please avoid ALL vintage costume jewelry as it is nearly always VERY HIGH in both lead and cadmium and often high in mercury as well. This includes vintage faux pearls. When possible consider buying sterling silver jewelry for children, with natural stones instead of crystal or enamel decorative elements. Sterling silver will be marked with the “925” stamp in the metal.  Please read my post about #SaferChoices in jewelry here.  I also like titanium jewelry options (my wedding ring is made of titanium!) Thank you for reading.

Affiliate link disclosure: If you choose to purchase any items after clicking the Amazon links above, Amazon pays me a small kick back as a thank you for sending business their way. It doesn’t cost you anything extra and helps support this website, allowing me to keep sharing information about childhood lead poisoning prevention (as well as making it possible for me to keep sharing about safe products for your home and family) ... Sharing this information in turn helps families everywhere protect their children from potential environmental toxicity in their homes. I only link to products that are the same as (or very similar to) ones that I either have direct personal experience with in my home or that I have personally tested with an XRF Instrument and found to be lead-safe or lead-free. March 2017
