 As being new to the jewelry design business, I was unaware of the the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990.  This truth-in-advertising law prohibits misrepresentation in marketing American Indian or Alaska Native arts and culture in the United States.  So basically you cannot market or sell any product falsely claiming to be an Indian product, or a product of a Indian Tribe or Indian arts.  This law covers all Indian and Indian style contemporary and traditional arts and crafts produced after 1935.

Because American Indian or Alaska Native designs and style is so prevalent in society, especially in the handmade crafting/jewelry industry, this act will honor the historical significance of Indian and Indian-style arts and crafts.

Now if a law could be created to ensure every bad piece of clothing is not labeled "vintage" at Etsy, that would be great.  The Tommy Hilfiger purse you bought at Ross in 1999 is in no way vintage.

Please admire my American Indian Inspired earrings which are available on Etsy.
