Third-party lab test reports.

Q: Do you have third-party test reports for your stainless steel jewelry?

Yes. A sample of our stainless steel jewelry was tested by Guangdong Consumer Testing Technology Co., Ltd. (CTT), a CNAS-accredited laboratory (ILAC-MRA), in report CTT26090107358EN: composition to ASTM A959, EU nickel release (EN 1811), lead and cadmium under EU REACH. Every test passed, and every page of the report is published on this page. The results apply to the sample tested.

Q: Is your jewelry nickel-free?

Stainless steel jewelry usually contains nickel (the tested sample: 11.62%). What EU law controls for skin contact is nickel release, measured with EN 1811. In our report, nickel release was below the detection limit (< 0.05 µg/cm²/week), far under the EU limit of 0.5 µg/cm²/week.

Q: Does it meet EU REACH limits for lead and cadmium?

Yes. Lead measured 22 mg/kg against the REACH limit of 500 mg/kg, and cadmium was not detected (< 2 mg/kg) against a limit of 100 mg/kg.
