BIJOU! BIJOU! Teresa Elizabeth's Creations

Good Morning,
Today I just want to tell you about what I have learned, through working with different vendors buying jewelry findings as they are called and chains anything metal; you have choices in this field and I have learned if you buy things cheap you are literally taking a big chance with your life and the life of the person you are buying it for. I have changed and will buy only reputable metals mostly coming from USA and/ or Europe with a few others that have been shown to be as they mark them to be like Bali and a few others. Yes they are higher in price and will cost more to buy but, You will not be wearing something with arsenic in it. Yes some have been tested and they have that in them. That is when I said never again, I don't want anyone exposed to that and lead that they say is not in the metal, and is. I found out through research what to buy and what not to buy, for my own good. I sure do not want that kind of stuff to work on with my own two hands and to sell them to other is just not in my realm of belief. So that is maybe why mine jewelry is higher priced than others, and I buy USA not just suppliers but actual manufacturing. You can be sure of what mine is made of I always state what it is and that is what I make it out of.

So we all have choices in this world and I have decided to go this way in may work. I will also be making other items in the near future and will follow the same ideals. Now I will say there are some that are true but being a small business I can not test them all and the only real way to be absolutely sure is buy American made or the few other metal works that are tested from time to time.

I just had to get this said so you have a better understanding why mine items are more than others in the business. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Terrie♥
