We offer three types of birthstone beads when
designing our birthstone bracelets:
First, the Swarovski CrystalsTM bicone shaped birthstone crystals are only offered
in adult style bracelets. Swarovski CrystalsTM indeed are true genuine crystals - this is why their quality displays
a true brilliance and shine to each bead. These beads do contain lead in the core of the bead itself, they have a protective
matrix with in the bead to contain the lead from being released into your skin or being absorbed into your skin, the crystals
do not pose any health issues when being worn. However, we do not use these crystals for infant and children's bracelets.
We have provided some links to Health Canada and the US CPSIA on our product safety page. Then we also use the Czech Fire Polished Jablonex Lead Free Glass Crystals for adult style bracelets. Then the
third we use is the natural and traditional gemstone and semi-precious gemstones, we offer a complete and unique natural birthstone
either semi-precious or three out of the four precious gemstones of sapphire, ruby and emerald. For the month of April
we use clear crystal quartz and white mother of pearl instead of the diamond for April which is either crystal/diamond or
mother of pearl.
Second,
the Czech Fire Polished Jablonex Lead Free Glass Crystals are offered in our infant, children and adult jewelry
collections. These beads are round and faceted in shape and also offer a beautiful sutle shine to each crystal.
These beads are recomended to be used when designing birthstone bracelets for babies and children as they are lead free.
The highly compressed glass beads and very durable crystals use an intense fire process from the core of the bead when making
them. They are very strong and durable, smooth and soft in appearance, very beautiful for anyone to wear.
Third, the Natural and Traditional Gemstones in either the Semi-precious or Precious Gemstones: We offer a complete and unique natural birthstone in all of the birthmonths from January to December.
We offer three of the four precious gemstones which are sapphire (september), ruby (july) and emeral (may). For the
month of April we use a clear crystal quartz and white mother of pearl instead of the diamond for April which for the traditional
stones of April birth month are either diamond / quartz / or white mother of pearl.
