When buying jewelry online, many people wonder: Is this piece safe to wear? Does it follow international quality rules?
In Europe, jewelry is held to some of the strictest safety and ethical standards. At Amona Jewelry, every design is proudly produced in Europe, which means it naturally follows all these regulations. Our jewelry is nickel-free, lead-free, hypoallergenic, and made from certified Silver 925.
What Are the European Standards for Jewelry?
1. REACH Regulation: Safe Materials Only
The EU REACH Regulation (EC No 1907/2006) protects consumers from harmful chemicals in jewelry. Under REACH:
- Lead content is limited to 0.05%.
- Cadmium content is limited to 0.01%.
- Nickel release must remain extremely low (under 0.2 µg/cm²/week for earrings and 0.5 µg/cm²/week for other jewelry).
This ensures that jewelry worn daily will not release harmful metals into your skin.
2. Nickel Directive: Hypoallergenic Protection
Nickel allergies are common, which is why the EU created the Nickel Directive. Jewelry must pass tests like EN 1811 and EN 12472 to guarantee safe, hypoallergenic wear—even for people with sensitive skin.
3. Hallmarking: Guaranteed Precious Metal Purity
If jewelry is labeled Silver 925 (Sterling Silver), it must contain at least 92.5% pure silver. European hallmarking laws ensure the metal content is genuine and certified.
4. General Product Safety Directive (GPSD)
This law makes sure all consumer products, including jewelry, are safe in every way—chemically, mechanically, and ethically.
Why Choosing Jewelry Made in Europe Matters
Not all jewelry sold online meets these high standards. Many imported pieces may not be tested for nickel, lead, or cadmium. By choosing jewelry made in Europe, you benefit from:
- Stringent safety testing under EU law.
- Ethical production and labor practices.
- Authentic 925 silver hallmarking and certification.
- Transparency and consumer protection you can trust.
