‘Sterling silver’ jewellery sold on popular fashion websites contains toxic chemicals

Jewellery marketed as sterling silver on popular fashion websites, including Amazon, eBay and Temu, has been found to contain toxic chemicals. An investigation by the BBC revealed that eight out of twenty-five pieces of jewellery purchased from these outlets contained cadmium. These findings indicate that items sold as high-quality sterling silver on these platforms may actually contain hazardous substances, posing potential risks to consumers who purchase these fashion accessories from the mentioned online marketplaces.
