    Do we as makers need to be able to show "certificates" or proof from
    our suppliers that our materials do not contain lead, or over the
    designated amount of lead? Or, are we not required to show proof
    unless someone decides to test our jewelry and claim that it
    contains lead? I work primarily in copper, bronze, steel, and
    silver. I should be able to get an msds or other statement of alloy
    content from my suppliers. 

    How are the big suppliers responding to this, like Rio Grande or
    Ottofrei (located in CA)? Are they prepared to offer their customers
    some sort of assurance that the supplies we buy to use in jewelry
    conform to the law in CA?
