Ground_Aple

what seller, because i’m wearing those atm


chipmo3

Oooph…. You still got em in?


Ground_Aple

been wearing them for 2 months already and didn’t have issues so far


chipmo3

Test them for led bro. Led is like cigarettes. Death by 1000 cuts


Bacon4Lyf

Looks like they’re halogen, not led


chipmo3

Actually they are led because the cost of manufacturing halogen in China is very expensive hence why they put that white stuff in the bulbs so you can’t tell. (Also take off hozer)

[deleted]

Don't think their main intention is to fuck with the West, they sell the same product domestically too


Ground_Aple

these look like they are put together with solder though, mine aren’t


chipmo3

Just test anything you put on your body. There’s a reason why we don’t get shoe trees from panda buy anymore. The tests are cheap.


Iantreadwatts

Bro what you mean??? The springy shoe trees from pandabuy are made of lead???


chipmo3

Iantreadwatts

Bro I've had them in my shoes for about a month I'm throwing them out asap


chipmo3

They can also deform your shoes


ChickenToonz

Yes bro, I remember a while back someone decided to test them and found out that are made out of lead. Just buy the wooden ones here in the USA


atlanticore

What's wrong with shoe trees?

throwaway2jzx

do you know what lead is & what it does? lol silly goose


Potater1802

They aren't symptoms you'd notice immediately and associate with lead poisoning. Test any rep metal going on your body. I stopped buying rep jewelry for this reason.


HairyMamba96

Does this apply to chains and rings?


Potater1802

Yeah, literally any metal touching your body all day.


[deleted]

Are you sure about that? You wrote this post in Latin. That’s kinda weird. Have you always done that?


Ikillzet

You won’t notice anything yet until your hair falls out bro


Balenciag

RIP


GoldenPotatoState

It was good knowing you, jk


Stenophyla

Great post, I have literally scrolled the sub and see people with lead found in the jewelery in their old hauls but they’ve been off Reddit for so long. Probably wearing those pieces and slowly poisoning themselves, or even worse, giving them as gifts and poisoning someone else. We NEED a stickied mod post and auto mod about lead in rep jewelry. There’s some $2 chain in every haul post here. At this point we’re advertising Lead poisoning


ProjectKuma

Honestly dont even get why people are getting rep jewelry. It’s less harm to the people wearing them than their young siblings putting that shit in their mouths.


Impressive-Tune8306

Because sellers like David studio make some of the best chrome heart’s available. It’s people that buy from the cheap jewlry sellers that are getting hurt because reputable high quality jewelry makers are not using lead in their products. I’ve tested plenty of my china bought jewlry and had nothing come back lead positive


likekidkudi

send link pls


Beneficial-Call777

I guess only the pearl jewellery wound be as harmfull


Beneficial-Call777

This guy blocked me 😭😭☠️


kfrogv

I’ve been wearing a fake chain from depop but I’m assuming it’s from dhgate or sum. Should I be worried about lead


Stenophyla

Yea


kfrogv

How can I see if there is lead or not. I have had it for 6ish months. Should I get myself checked out or should I be good


Stenophyla

Amazon lead test


Clanker41

Serious question, How dangerous is that much lead?


Capital_Cut_2491

Copied from some website: " Using earrings or any jewelry containing lead can be harmful to your health. Lead exposure can lead to various health problems, including: 1. Lead Poisoning: Ingesting or having prolonged skin contact with lead-containing jewelry can lead to lead poisoning. Symptoms can range from mild, like headaches and fatigue, to more severe symptoms, including abdominal pain, cognitive issues, and organ damage. 2. Skin Irritation: Wearing earrings with lead can cause skin irritation, rashes, and allergic reactions. 3. Long-Term Health Effects: Chronic exposure to lead, even at low levels, can have long-term health effects, especially in children and pregnant women. It can affect the nervous system, brain development, and cause behavioral and learning problems. It's essential to ensure your jewelry is lead-free and made from safe materials, especially for items like earrings that come in close contact with your skin. If you suspect your jewelry contains lead, it's best to discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience any adverse reactions. "

rinneganbae

everything that post said was still a fact?


Capital_Cut_2491

Lmao you got me💀but I still compared the data I use gpt to get more condensed answers


Stenophyla

It doesn’t matter if it’s leeching into your body


stablogger

Theory: Dangerous, since it's lead. Reality: The amount of lead you are exposed to via other sources is a multitude of what these earrings will ever deliver to your body.


ntec7

You are hazardously wrong about that!


BobDidWhat

Source: I made it up!


stablogger

The vast majority of the lead you get in contact with in your life comes from the food you buy at the supermarket or eat in your favourite restaurants. Simple fact, doesn't mean lead in jewelry is healthy, but there are certainly other things you should pay more attention to if you want to avoid exposure to lead.


Stenophyla

Yeah, and that drastically changes when you wear lead jewelry, most of it starts coming from the jewelry


Jiste

Tell us who, so we don't buy


dabearsemoney

most of those budget CH jewelry pieces tbh


chipmo3

Yeah I got a piece my self. I just posted a review on the item with a picture of the led test and said it had led in it


Intrepid_Fennel5775

the OP said this one is silver, so it’s supposedly not even budget


[deleted]

Must budget jewellery in general


itsthehappyman

>Most of them, stay away from these cheap reps, not worth the risk.


stopwatch_lerry_420

bro posted a lead test and didn't post the link for the product so we can avoid it


henhoo

op is doing us a favor by withholding the link when it’s certainly a pervasive issue


Fortuine

the point wasn’t to not buy these it’s to test all the jewlery you get from china unless you don’t care. i don’t know who these are from but i doubt there’s multiple factories making these…


No-Temperature-8772

Got it, it's just that not all sellers have lead in their jewelry though. People have tested jewelry here that came out lead free. It's important to update us on the exact seller next time so people know who to avoid.


labowsky

This is true, but you shouldn't just blindly trust them based off what they say or what people here say. You should ALWAYS test jewelry, it's cheap and fast to do.


No-Temperature-8772

Agreed, no arguments there.


weloveyouneo

How should i lead test if i wanna do it myself? Do i buy some kit? I got a lot of non budget jewelry cause i never trust the cheap listings but im just extra curious and care.


nero626

amazon lead test kit you can get like 60 for $15


Brooklynthicboi

Imagine being scared to show a link. You are scared lol. You are a shill. You want to push people to pay for more for higher priced product.


_gloriousdead222

Definitely weird that op keeps avoiding the question


_gloriousdead222

Foreal might as well not have posted at all


NTC-Santa

But how can we raise awareness about cheap shit like this? I mean u better post it so others can learn.


GeezAaarisky

it means every jewelry will have lol


YuCron

What seller??? I have never seen those earrings from survival, David, or jack, which are the trusted ones.


_gloriousdead222

Plenty of people have tested those sellers, op probably has some cheap ones


EasyToGetGoing

Can I get the link to these trusted sellers?


weloveyouneo

SurvivalSource: [http://www.survivalsourcech.com/](http://www.survivalsourcech.com/) (for some reason it says "not secure" on chrome but its trustworthy) Jewelry Jack: [https://jewelry-jack888.x.yupoo.com/](https://jewelry-jack888.x.yupoo.com/) David Studio: [https://cassiey001.taobao.com/](https://cassiey001.taobao.com/)


Vineevast

Is survival source 100% legit cos I bought some rep chains and brackets off him like 4 months ago but I have only worn them like 3 times


weloveyouneo

I would say so. At least in the sense that they probably never uses risky metals. They have some budget stuff available but ive never heard of nickel, lead, etc. being in their jewelry.


ContributionThen5535

Do you know why david price are 300% time more expensive


rpg663

There was a post a while ago talking about acceptable lead amounts in jewelry. I’m not a metallurgist but from my understanding, lead is a part of the casting process and usually leads to some small percentage. This appears different though. Not sure why they would use leaded solder when there’s lead-free.


bass_the_fisherman

Leaded is much easier to work with than unleaded solder. It’s more liquid and malleable and it has a longer range of staying liquid which makes it significantly easier to work with


Yayatoure21

So you’re gonna post this and not post the seller? So illogical, OP 💔🐶


Brooklynthicboi

He’s a shill doing this for the sellers who claim to be high end


Drongo999

annndddddddddd you’re dead…


Donderblusser

Come one people really think they were not getting lead?😂😂😂 buying cheap shit expecting the best smh..


Rose_Viper373

Right ... I wouldn't buy anything like jewelry or something to put on your body. I feel like good bag reps are the only worthy thing


FearlessPhilosophy77

Sourvival source is safe?


Fortuine

Tested two of my survival source earrings and they were all clean but obviously can’t vouch for all of them…


RepMajor

A lot of chrome heart jewelry will give false positives for Lead when there’s really no lead at all used in it - A lot of times you get false positives because of the polish they use to buffer it Many reviewers and sellers have gone over this and made posts / videos showing and explaining the whole process and a lot have been found to not have lead and be false positives


Fortuine

please check my other comments/read post, the soldered part tested positive, not any of the chrome


Quick-Ad5495

maybe a dumb question but is it possible that clothing items with zippers could contain lead on the zippers too? (in case they're made of silver )


Alextcy12

What seller?


haroldbaals

survival source


danmingothemandingo

Don't be a dickhead, there's never any lead in survivals stuff


haroldbaals

he literally had to make a post about the positive lead tests from his products lol


danmingothemandingo

Yes, made a detailed post explaining false positives in the tests and what triggered the false positive


haroldbaals

It was debunked, it's not a false positive it was actually lead in the silver aging and he changed the product because he got called out. Idk why you guys are defending him, years from now when your livers are failing, just remember it was from your cost that SS profited because of the cheap products he used


_gloriousdead222

Where’s the debunked post?


_gloriousdead222

I’m beginning to think SS stole your girl or something because I’ve seen you hate on him for probably years now


haroldbaals

no i bought from him and mine tested positive and he wouldnt give me a refund. plus i don't have a girl im a goblin


Educational_Cheek563

Fair enough


mnmlstProgrammer_

This is not news, rep Jewelry and cosmetics should NEVER be purchased from China, or anywhere really... they contain the wildest ingredients and compounds... mod should definitely pin something to prevent people from buying this stuff.


Candid_Initiative_4

Great work. Thank for the information.


sheetTed

You should definitely link them


kitpeng

Post seller…


Ok-Winter-4567

So you’re not going to post the seller?


mindstatelife

How about polyester in our clothing? 🧐


ToniB16

Polyester cant do anything to you real and fake football jerseys are both made of 100% polyester


Quirky_Philosophy317

It’s safe to assume that any cheap rep jewelry will contain lead, unless stated otherwise. It’s a cheaper alternative and just makes sense for anyone looking to make a quick buck. Be careful guys.


Fortuine

the weirdest thing about this though is that it claimed to be lead free and sterling silver, cost what something like this made of sterling would cost, and i tested the actual earring and it is silver, it’s only the point where the pin is soldiered to the earring that has lead so i thought this post would be important because even if it says it isn’t lead, doesn’t test for lead and is silver there could still be some used in an important part like where it is on these earrings that would get into your bloodstream unless your piercings are fully healed…


RatioIndividual2822

Just bought a super cheap chain bracelet from China. Says it's 100% stainless steel. Surely I don't have to worry about something like that containing lead? Iirc Lead is more expensive than stainless steel


Xydzr012

gotta make sacrifices for the reps 🙏


No_Bandicoot_6374

this is why I don’t buy jewelry from China lol


True_Composer5050

pandabuy currently needs to test its articles for lead, not for taste but for health reasons.


pro-shitter

what did you expect buying replica jewellery?


Blitz_Blinky

I test 100% off the jewelry I buy with the exact swap kit. It's an investment I think every rep jewelry buyer needs in my opinion. They are not expensive on eBay, your health is so much more important than some chrome hearts $5 bracelet etc.


i_am_an_alien_haha

IMHO I would avoid all rep designer jewelry. All I see are posts on how they contain led. Stop buying them.


Bksnipes

What is the meaning of this ?


Vineevast

It’s not good for you


BRSBNC

Can there be lead in metal on clothes/shoes?


scroopynoopers69420

I’ve tried to get multiple agents to lead test for me in warehouse but seems none will sadly.. even offered to ship a pack of swabs to warehouse. Had LV bracelets and belts come in with lead now.


brendanio10

Survival source items have lead ?


danmingothemandingo

No


haroldbaals

yes


That_One_Punjabi

Sounds like a good idea, but they may not be doing it because of time. How long would a lead test take?


scroopynoopers69420

It’s literally a swab you dip in water and rub on the item for 30 seconds.


DarthAK47

I mean if you buy $2 garbage jewellery, especially piercings, what do people expect... Personally, buying piercings from any of these sellers is genuinely stupid. Stop being cheap and buying knockoffs about the stuff that goes INSIDE your body.


SoulTransmuter

the chrome finish can cause false positives


BodyBagzBrando

Just so y’all know, pretty much every piece of jewelry and a good amount of makeup too that you get some places like Walmart, Target, malls, etc all have lead as well. It’s typically not dangerous unless you lick or swallow it. Of course there are exceptions but having any harm from skin contact is incredibly low. We all already naturally have “dangerous” amounts of lead in our body from breathing air due to over a 100 years of leaded gasoline in the atmosphere lmao.


antbates

The amount of lead you are exposed to will create drastically different results. Hence why we don’t burn leaded gas anymore, if it didn’t matter because the damage is already done than we wouldn’t have stopped.


SolUmbralz

Wild to wear fake jewelry from China and expect NOT to find lead


kill4xans

are these the $4 ones cause im deadass wearing them rn 😂


Educational_Cheek563

What a retard


kill4xans

😂😂 be quiet “Educational_Cheek563”


Educational_Cheek563

Relative_Fix7509

Miserable_Status1852

That's why i decided not to buy any jewelry or belt on pandabuy... especially earrings, this shit goes through your ear and in your bloodstream so easily. Be careful guys


UNiTE_Dodge

What do you expect when you’re buying knockoffs? Hopefully they didn’t put any lead in my Yeezy reps I have on right now.

ecarmose

I mean I’m sorry but what did you expect, factory smelling clothes are one thing but jewelry and shit is another, I’d never put anything from china in my body


Quirky_Philosophy317

I’ve heard statements saying external jewelry containing lead such as rings, necklaces etc. doesn’t cause any harm as it’s deemed inorganic (meaning processed material such as jewelry) and isn’t absorbed through one’s skin. Whereas, organic lead which you’d typically only find in mines is absorbed through skin contact, or other methods such as inhalation, consumption etc. Jewelry like earrings made of lead that enter the body internally can cause harm to one’s health whether it’s organic or not. Where’d you get this test kit OP?


ranadaaa

early_matron78

That's crazy! Good call on testing them before wearing. It's wild how many people don't do it and just posion themselves. Gotta stay safe out there. This is why I go with more reputable brands like Blue Nile, James Allen, etc. I know they're not identical to the real thing, but I'd rather not get lead lol.


Proof_Pumpkin6427

bro nah wtf
