Product Safety - GPSR
Product Safety Declaration – Handmade Jewelry
As a designer of handmade jewelry, we are required to comply with the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) , a European law that ensures that all products placed on the market are safe for consumers. This law requires us to be transparent about the materials used, possible risks and how we limit these risks.
This statement has been created to inform you, our customer, about the safety of our jewelry, including how to use it properly to minimize risk. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priority.
About the product
Our jewelry is handmade using carefully selected materials, including:
- Gemstones : Authenticity is checked at Naturalis. Some stones are colored, which can cause an allergic reaction in people with sensitivity.
- Sterling Silver (925) : Provided with a 925 mark that guarantees quality.
- Gold Filled : Gold-plated sterling silver, recognizable by the hallmark.
- Swarovski : The authenticity of Swarovski crystals can be proven with a certificate.
Possible risks and precautions
While we strive for the safest possible design, we would like to point out to our customers the following potential risks:
-
Allergic reactions :
- Some people may be sensitive to colored (dyed) gemstones or metals. We recommend that if you have known allergies, you contact us in advance for more information about the materials used.
-
Discoloration of gemstones and metals :
- Gemstones can discolour due to exposure to sunlight, body lotions, creams, chlorine or other chemicals. We recommend storing the jewellery in a dry environment and avoiding contact with chemicals.
-
Physical risks :
- Necklaces and bracelets can get caught on clothing or other objects.
- Earrings can fall out due to scarves or jackets for example. Most ear hooks come with earring caps to reduce this risk.
- There is a small chance of cuts or punctures if a silver or gold plated wire is accidentally bent back.
-
Not suitable for small children :
- Our jewelry is not suitable for children under 6 years old. Small parts can be swallowed, and children can hurt themselves on chains or other parts.
-
Recommendations for use :
- We recommend not sleeping, swimming, showering or exercising with our jewelry to prevent damage and wear.
Test methods
We test the jewelry extensively by wearing it ourselves in everyday situations. This helps us to ensure safety and durability.
Your safety, our priority
We always advise our customers to wear and store jewelry carefully. If you have any questions about the safety of our jewelry, please feel free to contact us.
