Alongside our U.S.-made items, we carry stunning pieces from different origins of the world. This variety offers our customers a wide range of styles and designs, reflecting the artistry of different cultures.

While we strive to prevent mislabeling, we acknowledge that human error can occur, and we will always do our best to fix it.

It is important to note that the items in our global jewelry collection are not to be labeled or represented as Native American-made jewelry, Native jewelry, or Native art. These pieces are part of our broader offering of jewelry made globally, designed to complement our other collections. We offer this type of jewelry as to enhance our variety while maintaining our commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Our collections highlight the beauty of natural stones such as turquoise, spiny oyster, black jet, malachite, larimar, and coral, as well as compressed stones like Purple Mojave, Pink Dahlia, Spiny Turquoise, and more. We price these pieces to provide affordable luxury, making them accessible to customers who appreciate fine jewelry.
Our jewelry in this collection comes from various regions around the world, including India, Indonesia, Mexico, and other countries. Regardless of their origin, each piece is clearly labeled with its country of origin, ensuring transparency and upholding our ethical standards. The same core values—quality, integrity, and honesty—that guide our Native American jewelry apply to this collection as well.
It is crucial that both we and our customers do not represent these items as Native American-made or Native jewelry. We take great care to ensure that all jewelry is labeled accurately, ensuring that it is correctly identified and not misrepresented. Upholding these ethical values is essential to maintaining the trust of our customers.
For example, our HaDa fashion collection is Western-inspired, non-Native American jewelry, and we clearly communicate this distinction through clear labeling both in-store and online. This collection is primarily sourced from India, and we label and stamp “HaDa” on these pieces to help customers easily distinguish them from our Native American offerings.
Additionally, we oIer a range of Southwestern inspired gift items that include rings, pendants, knives, keychains, letter openers, card holders, and much more. These items are machine-made or casted and are not handmade. We label these products as “Southwest Style Gift Items”, or just simply “Southwest style” and they should never be misrepresented as Native American jewelry or Native-made art.
We also carry jewelry from Indonesia and Mexico, created by talented artisans from those regions. pieces are labeled with accurate details to ensure they are properly represented.
It is important that all these items are correctly identified and labeled to ensure transparency with our customers. Our goal is to provide clarity regarding the origin and production of these pieces, maintaining a clear distinction between our fashion jewelry that comes from across the globe and our Native American jewelry offerings.
At Indian Touch of Gallup, our commitment to authenticity, transparency, and ethical practices guides every aspect of how we handle our silver pearl beads. We take great care to label and present our products with accuracy, ensuring that our customers fully understand what they are purchasing. It is crucial that machine-made pearls are not misrepresented, as we stand firmly against the misrepresentation of any jewelry, especially Native American items.
How We Label Our Sterling Silver Pearl Beads:
Handmade Pearl Beads: These are meticulously crafted by Native American artisans, reflecting skills and labor-intensive craftsmanship. As such, these pieces are priced higher to reflect the artistry and time involved. We label these items as handmade Native American jewelry, providing information about the artist and tribe when applicable. Examples include pieces crafted by Treva Jim, which are priced higher due to the craftsmanship.
Machine-Made Pearl Beads: Most of our machine-made pearls are hand-strung by Theresa Skeets, who handles about 90-95% of the work, while the remaining are strung by other artisans or overseas. These pearls are machine-made, not handmade, and are labeled as hand strung pearls and are to be represented as fashion-style jewelry. We ensure that these items are never misrepresented as Native American jewelry. Regardless of who strung them, they should not be represented as Navajo Jewelry, and to be represented and labeled as fashion-style jewelry or just simply as hand strung pearls, but not represented as Native American jewelry.
Our machine-made pearl beads are priced based on their weight, regardless of where they are strung or by whom. These pearls should never be marketed or priced as handmade or as Native American jewelry, as they are not. They are clearly distinguished as just hand strung pearls, providing an affordable option.
We believe that ethical labeling and representation are essential to preserving the trust we have built over the years. As such, we no longer label machine-made pearls with the names of those who string them, as this can lead to confusion. Moving forward, we will continue to label our machine-made pearls as just hand strung pearl jewelry, with a clear distinction between handmade Native American pearls and machine-made pearls.
Misrepresenting machine-made pearls as handmade or assigning them higher value based on who strung them goes against the core values of our business. We expect our customers and business partners to uphold these same values when marketing and selling our products.
If there is any confusion between hand-strung machine-made pearls and handmade pearls, we are here to clarify. We offer both, and the distinction is crucial. Handmade pearls, such as those crafted by Treva Jim, are priced higher and reflect the Native American craftsmanship involved. If customers are seeking authentic handmade Native American pearls, we are happy to guide them to the correct items in our inventory
At Indian Touch of Gallup, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of authenticity, transparency, and ethical practices. These values are central to how we label, represent, and sell all our products.

We offer a wide range of products, including:
Handmade Native American jewelry: These pieces reflect the cultural traditions of the tribes represented. We label these items with accurate information regarding the materials used, the artist’s name (when applicable), and the tribe or community of origin.
Our global jewelry: Our jewelry in this collection comes from various regions around the world, including India, Indonesia, Mexico, and other countries. These items are clearly labeled and represented according to the information on the label and are not to be confused with Native American-made or Native jewelry pieces. Each item will be labeled accordingly, ensuring transparency and upholding our ethical standards
