Wholesale Jewelry Shopping And Proposition 65

I was surfing the net the other day for wholesale jewelry. I came across a website with some good deals. It also listed the California proposition 65 warning. It read that the jewelry had to be listed under this proposition as having chemicals and elements that have been known to cause cancer. Also, some of the elements and chemicals have been known to cause birth defects.

I am warned to even wash my hands after touching the jewelry. Infants and small children are to be kept away from the jewelry. And if you see anyone sucking or eating the jewelry you better tell them to stop. Who wants a cancer causing agent in their mouth?

Do I want to give away gifts that come with such a warning however? If I do give jewelry in California do I have to make sure the tag listing the warnings are included. Do I have to verbally warn people of the hazard? Do I have to tell them to wash their hands after opening and handling my gift?

This proposition applies to California retailers. So does this mean I can buy jewelry in Nevada and not worry about cancer causing agents? Or can I give Nevada jewelry as gifts and have no worry about warning anyone about my gift Well jewelry is jewelry. The industry has been making jewelry the same way for centuries. I doubt if California is the only state where jewelry can cause cancer.

But does anyone pay attention to these warnings? If someone gave you a necklace, bought in California, with a tag on it saying this necklace contains agents which have been known to cause cancer would you simply not wear it? Chances are if you like the necklace you would wear it.

How does jewelry cause cancer anyway? Does California have a unique testing system other states do not have? Or do the other states have the same information but they simply let their population take their chances on getting sick?

Lead has been part of the jewelry making process for a long time. Has anyone gotten sick with wearing lead around their neck or their finger or on their ears? Who can really say? But if it was not for California proposition 65 probably most people who buy and wear jewelry would not give it a second thought. But at least with this proposition people in California at least can decide for themselves if they want to wear jewelry that comes with a label suggesting you wash your hands after handling it.

If you are giving jewelry this year as a gift you too can decide if that is the right gift to give. You can even warn people you give it to if you like. All of this I learned by shopping on the internet for wholesale jewelry.

I was searching for Wholesale Jewelry and Wholesale handbags on the world wide web recently and I came across a website that had a California proposition 65 warning. It stated the warning was in accordance with the proposition regulations.
