Child Care and Safety California Residents: Following California Law, Crazy4clipons will only sell children clip earrings with Sterling Silver and Gold filled clip closures to California Residents. These clips are available as upgrades. Children earrings to be shipped to a California address must have the appropriate upgrades on each order, otherwise the transaction will be canceled and fully refunded. What does the above mean? California law requires that all jewelry, including hand-crafted and vintage items, sold to California residents must be certified to be made only of certain lead-free or very low lead materials. This is of special importance for children's jewelry. Although plated metals are considered class 2 and are determined safe by our manufacturer, we at Crazy4clipons have determined, that Children's jewelry sold to California residents must be made of full sterling silver or gold filled metals (including the clip findings). Items purchased by California Residents that contain plated metal will be canceled and refunded promptly. We truly appreciate our customers understanding. Why Can't Some Jewelry Items Be Shipped to California? California law requires that all jewelry, including hand-crafted and vintage items, sold to California residents must be certified to be made only of certain lead-free or very low lead materials.

The wire used on all children's earrings is sterling silver and although most of the parts and findings used in our general jewelry are verified to be lead-free, assessment of the the lead content of all the components for each particular design is currently unavailable (or still pending from our manufacturers). Since we cannot verify the lead content (or lack thereof) of many parts for every single earring, we are unable to sell jewelry that contains these parts in to California residents. Our store is constantly updated, however we reserve the right to cancel any transaction where we do not have sufficient information about the components of parts of the jewelry.
