The Lab Gem Supplier

The presence of a dangerous, toxic heavy metal in popular low-cost children’s jewelry has American parents understandably panicked. Walmart and Claire’s were stripping their shelves of the dangerous jewelry items yesterday. The source of everyone’s concern was the discovery that many popular, low-cost, China-made children’s jewelry items contained dangerous levels of cadmium, a highly toxic heavy metal. Despite international standards that limit cadmium content in fashion jewelry to less than 0.1%, 10% of the children’s jewelry tested contained at least 10% cadmium and some items contained as much as 80% to 90% cadmium. Federal and state authorities have called for investigations.

While this catastrophe does not affect our business, we here at PehnecGems share the concerns of American parents (many of us are parents too). As a leading online wholesale supplier of loose cubic zirconia and loose lab created gems, PehnecGems does not manufacture or sell retail jewelry. Our business is limited to the wholesale international supply of loose lab created gems used by businesses in the fashion, shoe, jewelry, arts and other industries. We condemn dangerous practices in any aspect of the jewelry trade. Problems of this sort negatively affect consumer attitudes toward the jewelry trade and cannot be ignored. Once again, it pays to deal with a reputable firm no matter what business you’re in.

Throughout our nearly 50 year history, PehnecGems has offered only the highest quality loose cubic zirconia and loose lab gems to our wholesale customers. The wholesale loose cz and lab gems we sell are made from the highest grade materials using state-of-the art technology to create the highest quality synthetic gems available.
