MSNBC Reports Cadmium in Adult Jewelry

 


New report just out at MSNBC states that Cadmium, the heavy toxic metal found on childrens jewelry is now found on adult jewelry ie: necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.  Keep in mind that this jewelry is costume jewelry, cheap stuff that is sold at Catherines, Saks, Aeropostal.  Many of the pieces are made in China.  Some are made in India.  Some are not marked at all.  Cadmium is toxic in children and in adults.  It knows no age limit.  Play it safe and buy jewelry from a reputable retailer.  www.Stcanyon.com represents jewelry either made in Italy, or in the United States.  Don't trust the store name.  Trust what's on the jewelry label to be sure.
