In addition to harmful chemical substances, the physical safety cannot be ignored when the jewelry is worn (especially the jewelry intended to children). For example, lobster clasp having sharp edge can scratch the skin, lap with sharp point may cause sprain, small pendant may be swallowed by children and long necklace chain may be wrapped around the child neck caused suffocation.
