Important Information
The following are tips on buying Native American Jewelry from the Council for Indigenous Arts and Culture
Becoming an educated buyer and purchasing authentic arts and crafts helps to preserve the integrity and commitment of today's Native American artists. The popularity of American Indian arts and crafts has also brought merchandise into the market that is legitimately represented as "American-Indian inspired" or influenced. This should not be confused with authentic American Indian arts and crafts.
The following tips will help you to ensure that the arts and crafts that you purchase are truly Authentic.
- Become educated, by reading books, magazines and other publications about the areas that interest you; and by speaking to knowledgeable dealers and artists.
- Purchase from established dealers and Indian Arts and Crafts Association Members
- Ask questions. A knowledgeable and helpful staff is a good sign of a reputable business.
- Avoid stores with perpetual sales or unethical discounting offers. In general, genuine Indian arts and crafts are more expensive than the import southwest style or domestic fakes. However, a higher price in itself is no guarantee that an item is authentic.
- Ask for a certificate of authenticity or a written record on a business card, letterhead or receipt. The information should include the item description, materials used, tribal affiliation of the artist, and artist name when possible.
- Look for Native American artists' "hallmark" or signature on the product
- Look for well crafted items with clear and even images.
- If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is!
A Certificate of Authenticity is provided with all of our Native American Jewelry and Crafts

Hi John:
You probably won't remember me, but my wife and I stopped in your shop while at a convention 3 or so years ago. My mother is a customer you dealt with back in the 70's and 80's.
My wife likes your jewelry and I am sure I will return for more.
Merry Christmas!!
