All of my jewelry is lead, nickel & cadmium free. Most items are rhodium plated so you can just wipe or wash them off with soap and water to keep them shining! All of the Swarovski rings are rhodium plated so they stand up to the name. My friends and I wear these rings in pools and even use hand sanitizer with them...I've been selling these lines of jewelry for 3 years so they are well tested.
