Mass retailers are flooding the market with thousands of new jewelry products every single day. Many cost less than €2, but the true price is far greater. Workers in factories in China often face 12-hour shifts, six days a week, part of the notorious “9-9-6” culture. And it doesn’t stop at labor exploitation. Testing frequently reveals toxic heavy metals and harmful chemicals in this jewelry, substances linked to cancer, kidney damage, and organ toxicity.
Watch the full documentary “Cheap and toxic - The dark side of mass-produced fashion jewelry from China” on the DW Documentary YouTube channel.
