However, in recent years, such news has emerged one after another: the newborn baby is allergic because of wearing a long life lock, and the whole body is covered with rashes. Why did this silver ornament used to ward off evil spirits become a murderer of children instead?
1. Why are children allergic to wearing silver ornaments?
Silver can not only absorb toxins and kill bacteria, but also ward off evil spirits. The ancients thought that wearing pure silver with you could calm the five internal organs, calm the nerves and eliminate evil spirits. It is also recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that silver has the effects of "calming the five internal organs, calming the mind, treating fright, strengthening bones and muscles, calming the heart and improving eyesight", so China has always had the custom of wearing silver ornaments for babies, which is a gift for adults.
But many silver ornaments on the market now are not pure silver at all, but alloys doped with other metals. Compared with adults, babies' skin is very delicate. If you come into contact with this kind of silver ornaments, you will definitely remember allergic skin rash.
Therefore, unless you can guarantee to wear sterling silver jewelry for your child, don't wear it casually, otherwise it is easy to turn the blessing of your elders into a source of pain for your child.
Tips for choosing sterling silver bracelets
1, don't buy anything too heavy. Generally, it is best to buy a ring for your baby at about 20 grams. If you add a bell, don't exceed 26 grams. After all, the baby is too young to bear too much weight.
2. Try to choose a bracelet with a "walking circle". The baby's hand is still small, so it must be inappropriate to wear it. With walking circles, you don't need to adjust them to cause the bracelet to deform.
3. Pay attention to the excessive lead content. Beware of lead when buying silver jewelry. Harmful substances are difficult to separate from materials, and some jewelry manufacturers do not carry out these projects in order to reduce costs. Before buying, it is best to buy a regular brand in a regular shopping mall. After you buy it, you can check the purity, harmful substances, authenticity and so on in a nationally recognized jewelry, jade and precious metal testing institution.
Second, don't wear these jewels for children!
In addition to the silver jewelry that is difficult to distinguish between true and false in the market, these jewelry should also be careful not to wear for children!
1, alloy ornaments
Jewelry made of shiny alloy has beautiful style and low price. Many people like to buy concave or wear clothes. However, these alloy jewelry will add metal elements such as chromium, nickel, zinc, lead, copper, rhodium, silver and cadmium, which makes the jewelry contain a lot of substances harmful to human body. Adults can wear it occasionally. The child has delicate skin and poor resistance. Wearing this kind of jewelry is easy to be allergic, and it may even affect children by absorbing heavy metals.
2. angular jewelry
Some jewelry has sharp edges and corners for beauty. For young children, these jewels are a huge hidden danger and can easily hurt them. In order to avoid hidden dangers, don't wear this kind of jewelry for children.
3. Jewelry with small parts/beads
Many jewelry will have some exquisite and beautiful small parts, such as small bells, or made of many small beads. Although these jewels look really small and beautiful, children are curious. An important channel for them to explore the world is to bite with their mouths. These jewels are easy for children to swallow sundries by mistake, causing danger.
Step 4 dye jewelry
Be sure to choose natural jade or metal jewelry for your child. Never buy jade jewelry or gold and silver jewelry that looks beautiful and has an unscientific price. Nine times out of ten, it is dyed. Children exposed to dyes for a long time are at risk of cancer.
Third, I want to send jewelry to my children. These are more suitable.
