[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 287435, member: 2844"]The two Mexican pieces are alpaca. The ring is probably authentic Zuni, but with the current Indian Arts and Crafts Act you can't sell it as such, because it isn't marked. Of course older NA jewellery is seldom marked. I've said it before, that Act is flawed in so many ways, denying history, no quality control, no hallmark, guild, or provenance mark, so no control if a signed piece is actually NA. They should look at the way the Hopi Arts and Crafts Silvercraft Cooperative Guild organizes things.[/QUOTE]
