One more thing; If you're in doubt about the lead in your piece, weather it be a food bearing object, or a jewelry intended piece, there are lead testing swabs you can purchase. I personally have not used them, and am not sure how effective they are (manufacturers should disclose a number for the consumer), or under what circumstances lead can be leached from everyday use by wearing leaded glass beads in jewelry, but here's just one option...

But, again, jewelry made from lead glass, PROBABLY won't effect people adversely....however I do know a few people who's bodily chemistry is quite acidic . Who knows, I don't have the answer to this, but atleast one can test!

Good luck!!
