A variety of fashion jewellery hits the market in recent times. This opens the gateway of excellent choices in all the ranges. But, there are few things that are hidden in such fashion jewellery that are available in the market; hidden danger lurking behind those glittering pieces. Very few people are really aware about such jewellery and know the implication of nickel-free, lead-free & cadmium-free jewellery.

Nickel is one of the most common sources of skin allergies. The intensity of allergy could range from itchy skin, rashes to some severe conditions. However, if detected early, it can be cured but if the infection becomes severe with time, it can be dangerous for skin. Exposure of skin to cadmium and lead can be poisoning. It might cause some serious damage to wearer skin. Putting such jewellery into lip can cause nervousness, prolonged diarrhoea, fatigue and tremors.

Prefer to buy from reputed brands. All the branded jewellery manufacturers follow certain norms and conditions. And, selling nickel-free and lead-free jewellery is one of them. Product labels can tell you a lot about jewellery. Make sure to read it carefully.

Companies who have undergone some of the specific test and followed the mentioned guidelines while manufacturing and passed the lead and nickel testing will be confident about their products. They will put the word ‘Lead-free and Nickel-free’ or ‘hypoallergenic’ into their labels, confidently.

If you are not satisfied with the information on label, you can check it by yourself. Step-in to your local hardware store and ask for nickel testing kit. This kit will allow you to test jewellery by your own. You can test jewellery and other everyday products with this kit.
