According
to the
southwestern
tribes
and the
Gallup,
New Mexico
Chamber
of Commerce,
two-thirds
of all
jewelry
sold in
this country
as Native
American
is fake.
Most of
it is made
in China,
the Philippines,
Mexico,
and the
Middle
East to
look like
Native
American
jewelry
often copying
the Native
American
artists'
signature
designs.
These
knockoff
sweatshops
make
jewelry
that's
made
to
look
old
to
re
sell
on
auction
sites
as
'pawn'
and
'estate'
jewelry
as
well
as
jewelry
that
looks
like
Zuni
or
Navajo
inlay
work
but isn't.
|
|
It
is
a
violation
of the
federal
Indian
Arts
and
Crafts
Act is
misrepresent
foreign
made
jewelry
as Native
American.
You can
buy with
confidence
here
and
be assured
that
the
Indian
jewelry
you purchase
is genuine
and was
meticulously
handmade
by talented
artisans
residing
in the
American
southwest
or west
and personally
hand
selected.
All
items
--
except
occasional
carefully
chosen
authentic
old
or
dead
pawn
pieces
which
come
with
the
original
pawn
tickets
--
are
new
and
both
old
and
new
pieces
will
ship
with
a
Certificate
of Authenticity.

Finally,
as a
tribute
and a
little
self
indulgent
nostalgia
to what
would
later
prove
be the
genesis
for our
love
of Native
American
jewelry,
we offer
a selection
of authentic old
Lone
Ranger
memorabilia
and a
few surprises
in the
Potpourri
section.
