Do not wait until the order is finished to discuss restricted substances. Share your target market and testing expectations early so the supplier can evaluate material, plating and component choices.
This is especially important for earrings, rings and other products that touch skin directly.
Common requirements buyers ask about
Fashion jewelry buyers often ask suppliers to support lead free, nickel free and cadmium free requirements. US buyers may ask about Prop 65, while European buyers may ask about REACH-related expectations.
Requirements can vary by product, destination and buyer policy, so the right approach is to confirm the standard before production.

How to reduce compliance risk in an OEM project
Keep the material, plating, stone, glue, chain and decorative components clear in the production brief. If packaging has special requirements, document that as well.
A clear approval record helps your team avoid confusion between sampling and bulk production.
