All test results reported on this website are science-based, accurate and replicable. Items are tested multiple times to confirm the test results for each component tested.

In your professional opinion, do most children’s jewelry like this one (metal ring with enamel color) contain dangerous chemicals? My daughters (7 and 3) were gifted rings like this from Amazon and I’ve wondered if they are safe to wear or if they should go straight to the trash. Thank you!
