Is the Jewelry Safe?
According to the owners, Upcycled uses RoHS compliant circuit boards which do not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, etc. In addition, when preparing the jewelry it's stripped down to the fiber core and the copper plated veneer eliminating the majority of all contaminants, if any additional are present. After buffing and polishing it's coated with acrylic coating that conforms to ASTM D-4236 standards. However, as a final step the makers will be instituting lead testing to ensure that the jewelry is lead-free.
