The Church Street Burlington Vermont Ornament is composed of three different metals—nickel, copper, and brass. There is no lead or any other harmful substance in the metals; all metal pieces are designed to be safe as possible, with a minimum of sharp corners and edges. Only lead free solder is used. Beads: We use different styles, colors, and sizes of beads. The beads are always well attached to our products so that they do not fall off, but you should still take care with young children.
