China Manufacturer Has a High Regard to Cadmium in Jewelry

According to a report from regulators department of Europe and the U. S, they have found cadmium is over containing in the cheap jewelry which they purchased in batches, especially the cheap children jewelry.

Although, as yet, the federal regulators of countries like U.S. and Canada are not ban the sale of jewelry containing cadmium, but this series of events has caused many China jewelry manufacturers to value highly.

Some China jewelry manufacturers consider that some cheap jewelry containing toxic substances "cadmium" is not only a problem that happen in China jewelry industry but also happening in the global jewelry industry. It's not fair to blame it to China jewelry manufacturer.

But most jewelry manufacturer from all over the world, including some from the U.S. jewelry manufacturers have been insisting that, it is safe to use a small amount of cadmium in jewelry manufacturing. They say cadmium had been used in jewelry manufacturing for many years and had any problems.

Although consumer rights organization strongly urges a total ban on selling cadmium jewelry, but in October the U. S. Federal regulators said, they won't set mandatory standards on limiting the use of cadmium in children's jewelry, but required jewelry industry must control of their own strictly. Regulators choose not to ban the use of cadmium in jewelry but let the jewelry industry free to determine how much cadmium used in jewelry manufacturing is acceptable, gave the global jewelry manufacturers a breathe.

The direct main reason why jewelry manufacturers to use the cadmium is that, after the toxic substances lead is forbidden to use in jewelry manufacturing, they need another cheap metal to replace lead. Cadmium is a very cheap metal; it has been applied widely in nickel cadmium battery market.

The products involved include the ornaments of Brand Disney and Brand McDonald. Some reports said these ornaments contained cadmium came from China manufacturer, but other reports did not mention the country of origin of the products.

"In fact, there is only a few illegal manufacturers add the toxic substances in jewelry to reduce the cost, but most of the manufacturers are strictly in accordance with the standards of Europe and the U. S, so as to get a long-term relationship with customers. Chen teng, a jewelry manufacturer manager from Shenzhen China said.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety staff said the main reason of the U. S. Federal regulators just ask the jewelry industry self-discipline, is the meticulous test about the cadmium is not enough.

The U.S. federal law allows jewelry agency to stop selling the products they considered harmful to children, but this clause was considered only temporary, because there never have a clear value to the jewelry importer and manufacturers which level of metal content is allowed or not allowed.

One of the largest online jewelry wholesaler in Guangdong, Staryee said, they attach importance to the event of jewelry containing cadmium, although so far there's no customer complaints on the products they sold, they have required all products delivered from suppliers must meet the latest environmental protection standard, especially strengthened the test of toxic substance like cadmium and lead.

Purportedly, cadmium has been proven to be a toxic metal, according to a latest research results show that cadmium can affect children, especially the baby's brain development, also like lead. Children are unlikely to swallow the jewelry, but they just suck or bite this kind of products contained cadmium, it will toxic if absorbed into the body over a long period of time.

At present, the China jewelry with the advantage of inexpensive, occupy much of the global jewelry market share. China jewelry manufacturer concentrated in two provinces of Zhejiang and Guangdong.

Lee, the manager of Staryee said, competition in China Jewelry Manufacturer is very severe in recent years, it could not rule out few manufacturers used the cheaper toxic materials in jewelry to maintain profit, but most of the China Jewelry enterprises would choose to in accordance with the requirements of customers to produce environmentally friendly and healthy products. So, Wholesale China Jewelry still be worthy of confidence, and China jewelry remains the best choice of the global jewelry dealers.

Recently the event of "Jewelry containing cadmium" which was troubled by bubbling with noisily in United State and Canada causes China jewelry manufacturers to value highly.
