I was looking for wholesale jewelry on the internet recently and I came across a website that had a California proposition 65 warning. It stated the warning was in compliance with the proposition requirement and that some of their items might have lead in them. And that some of their jewelry might have chemicals that may cause cancer or reproductive harm like 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?
But I am not sure I want to give a gift that needs such a warning. When I give it to someone as a gift do make sure they read the proposition 65 warning. Do I have to make sure to tell them to wash their hands after handling my gift; and what if they have children? Do I have to tell them not to let their kids handle 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 do agents cause cancer anyway? Does the state of California have a test of jewelry causing cancer results. And what about other states. Do they simply not believe California's results. Or do they believe them and figure let their people find out the hard way that jewelry makes them sick.
Lead has been part of the jewelry process for years. Do we know for sure if anyone has suffered any ill effects from wearing jewelry with lead? Who can say for sure. But if proposition 65 was not passed most people would not give it a second thought about the lead they might find in their jewelry. But at least if you live in California you have the opportunity to choose for yourself if you want to wear jewelry that falls under the proposition 65 category. You can decide for yourself if you want to wash your hands after handling your jewelry.
If you are considering giving jewelry as a present you can make up your mind if you want to tell the person about the proposition 65 warnings. Or you can simply point out the tag if it has one. And I might not have been able to make this choice if I had not gone online looking for wholesale jewelry and reading about proposition 65.
