Safety rules for jewellery, especially for children

Children's jewellery sold in Canada falls under the Children's Jewellery Regulations, made under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. They set a 130 mg/kg limit for total cadmium and, for jewellery intended primarily for children under fifteen, limits of 600 mg/kg for lead and 90 mg/kg for leachable lead. Ask the seller for test information before you buy an item for a child, and check the metal content for any piece sold as a gift.

Season: December gift demand

Winter in Canada runs from December to February, and jewellery sales rise through the gift season that starts in November. Buyers in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Vancouver often choose statement sets for holiday parties in December. Ordering in November gives time for delivery and an exchange if the size or colour is wrong.

How sizes and prices are quoted

Necklace and bracelet lengths are usually given in inches, with cm on some listings, so ask for both before you order. Prices are in CA$, and the seller should say whether sales tax is included at checkout and whether delivery to your city is charged on top.

What to write in your request

Name the item, the material (crystal, rhinestone or metal tone), the style, the colour and the size. Say how many pieces you need, whether it is a gift, and the city for delivery. Add your budget, so sellers can suggest a set that fits.
