YO! Stop poisoning the planet, Tiffany & Co! It’s 2020! #KnowBetterDoBetter. Today I found 47 LEADED items for sale on Tiffany’s website.
Vintage etched crystal wine goblet: 136,500 ppm Lead. That’s nearly 14% Lead. This is not safe for food use.
Newer crystal champagne flutes: 359,900 ppm Lead. That’s about 36% Lead. This is not safe for food use.
Clip on earring. As anticipated 153,200 ppm Lead + 6,806 ppm Antimony (typical of vintage & new crystal jewelry.)
This is a summary with links to all my pieces on testing Leaded crystal items (goblets, rainbow makers & more!)
