Contains more than 100 ppm (parts per million) lead.
Contains more than 100 ppm mercury.
Uses cadmium as a dye, stabilizer, or in surface treatment with a concentration exceeding 75 ppm.
The Ministry of the Environment recommends the following to limit contact with chemicals:
Avoid putting costume jewelry in your mouth.
Do not wear costume jewelry daily.
Allow only children to wear costume jewelry on special occasions.
Avoid sleeping with costume jewelry.
Do not engage in sports activities while wearing costume jewelry.
As a company, it is your responsibility to ensure that the products sold comply with these regulations.

In addition to self-initiated spot checks conducted by us, our products undergo ongoing spot checks by the Precious Metal Control. We maintain a constant dialogue with our manufacturers regarding the quality and content of our products. All our jewelry and jewelry components comply with regulations for nickel, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Products with nickel or nickel content must never come into direct or prolonged contact with the skin.
Reverse charge on VAT - Buyer settles for VAT
Invoices issued to customers with a valid CVR number will henceforth be subject to the rules of SKAT (Danish Tax Authority) for investment gold and gold with a fineness exceeding 325/000. According to the VAT Act § 13, paragraph 1, number 20, investment gold is exempt from VAT. Gold in accordance with the VAT Act § 46, paragraph 1, number 4 is subject to "reverse charge mechanism." This means that the buyer is responsible for settling both the sales and purchase VAT on their own VAT return.
