Toxic Metal Cadmium Found in some China Jewelry

Recently there has been reports that some China-made jewelery contain high level of cadmium which is known to cause cancer and is harmful to the brain development of children.
It saddens me to read that even when questioned, the Chinese manufacturers feel indifferent that they are using such harmful products and endangering the health of consumers. One such manufacturer even defended this irresponsible action by saying they are merely giving what the customers asked for.

To keep the jewelry cost low, these unscrupulous jewelry manufacturers switch to cadmium as it is easy to use, shiny, attractive and of course cheap.

Some major retailers in US have already pulled out products that contain high levels of cadmium and we hope that the customers will also safeguard themselves by selecting jewelry with care.

To reassure our customers, all ICING Accessories are imported from Korea and Japan and made of 925 silver without known toxic metals.
