At Kolibri, we sell only beading components of the highest quality that comply with the strict EU obligations on chemical substances, including nickel, lead and cadmium, which are deemed to be harmful to health and the environment when present above certain thresholds.
Although being a small two-person business, we do not have our own testing facilities, we request suppliers and manufacturers to provide us certificates stating that the chemicals and metals used in all components are below or within limits.
When possible, we also select manufacturers who operate within the EU who are bound to manufacture only products according to EU legislation. This avoids any possible contamination. Such products include our Czech glass and crystal beads, remaining Austrian crystal beads (Swarovski, stopped manufacturing beads in 2019), all sterling silver beads and components, German wire, all Griffin nylon and silk cords and more.
Although highly allergic people can develop allergies to any product after prolonged use, nobody has ever reported allergies using any of our products, in which case we would take it out of the market immediately.
