Is Your Indian Turquoise Jewelry Fake?

Maybe the jewelry you want is just cheap imitations. That’s fine. But when you are trying to buy the real thing, then that is a different matter. Then government wanted to protect us from cheap imports when they passed the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990. This truth-in-advertising bill prohibits misrepresentation in marketing Indian arts and crafts. There are fines and prison terms as punishments.

If you find out you have purchased a fake, then you should request a refund from the dealer. If the dealer doesn’t respond to your request, then contact the Better Business Bureau, Chamber of Commerce, or the local district attorney’s office. You should also contact the Indian Arts and Crafts Board with your written complaint.

Congress created the Indian Arts and Crafts Board to promote the expansion of the Indian arts and crafts market. Besides enforcing the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, it also operates three regional museums. Another helpful thing the board does is provide a consumer directory of approximately 345 Native American owned and operated arts and crafts businesses. It is a helpful guide with listings arranged by state. The Indian Arts and Crafts Board is the only federal agency that is consistently and exclusively concerned with the economic benefits of Native American cultural development.

It is wonderful to see the beauty in jewelry that is hand crafted. It is nice to know that the government is helping to protect the culture of Native American arts and crafts by promoting genuine items.When you are shopping it pays to check that you are getting the real thing.
