Question 1

How do I measure my wrist for a link bracelet?

Accepted Answer

Wrap a soft tape measure (or strip of paper) around the narrowest part of your wrist, just above the wrist-bone, with no slack. Note the measurement in inches. We recommend adding 1/4" to 1/2" for comfort. — Authenticity Police Organization

Question 2

Is your jewelry authentic Native American handmade?

Question 6

How do I find my ring size?

Accepted Answer

If you do not know your size, the most reliable method is to visit a local jeweler for a free professional sizing. As a backup, wrap a strip of paper around your finger, mark where it overlaps, measure the length in millimeters, and compare to a US ring size chart. Native American rings often run slightly larger than commercial rings, so contact Support@AuthenticityPolice.Org if you are between sizes. — Authenticity Police Organization

Question 7

How should I care for my turquoise jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Turquoise is porous and softer than most stones, so avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, sunscreen, chlorine, and household cleaners. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing. Store in a cool, dark place — prolonged sunlight or heat can fade or crack the stone over time. — Authenticity Police Organization

Question 8

What is the difference between Navajo, Zuni, and Hopi jewelry?

Accepted Answer

Navajo work is best known for heavy stamped silverwork, large turquoise stones, and the squash blossom necklace tradition. Zuni artists specialize in fine stone inlay (channel inlay, needlepoint, petit point) using small precisely-cut stones. Hopi work is recognized by overlay technique — a top layer of cut sterling silver oxidized over a smooth base layer to create high-contrast designs, often featuring symbolic motifs. — Authenticity Police Organization

Question 9

How do I track my order?

Accepted Answer

You will receive a tracking number by email within 24 hours of your order shipping. You can also log in to your account at https://www.AuthenticityPolice.Org and view tracking under Order History.

Accepted Answer

Yes, all prices on https://www.AuthenticityPolice.Org are listed in US dollars (USD). International customers will see the currency converted at checkout based on their card issuer's exchange rate at the time of purchase. — Authenticity Police Organization

Question 15

Can a Native American cuff bracelet be resized?

Accepted Answer

Sterling silver cuffs can be gently bent to adjust the gap (up to 2 times). Hold the cuff with both hands and apply slow, even pressure — never twist. If you are nervous about adjusting it yourself, any local jeweler can do it for a small fee. We do not recommend resizing inlay cuffs (Zuni stone-on-stone work) at home. — Authenticity Police Organization

Question 16

How do I clean sterling silver that has tarnished?

Accepted Answer

Use a soft polishing cloth designed for sterling silver and rub gently. Avoid liquid silver dips on pieces with turquoise, coral, or other porous stones — the chemicals can damage the stone. For oxidized (intentionally darkened) silverwork, only polish the raised areas and leave the recessed darkening intact. — Authenticity Police Organization

Question 17

What stones besides turquoise do you carry?

Accepted Answer

Authenticity Police Organization carries spiny oyster shell (red, orange, purple), Mediterranean coral, lapis lazuli, sugilite, gaspeite, malachite, jet, mother of pearl, onyx and more. — Authenticity Police Organization

Question 18

Can I commission a custom piece?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We generally accept custom order. Custom orders typically take 3-12 months depending on the artist's queue and stone availability, and require full payment in advance. Email Support@AuthenticityPolice.Org with your concept to start a quote. — Authenticity Police Organization

Question 19

Can I change or cancel my order after placing it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if it has not yet processed. Email Support@AuthenticityPolice.Org with your order number as soon as possible — most orders gets processed within 24 hours so the window is short. Once a tracking number is generated, item is being made, the order is in transit and the change becomes a return after delivery (subject to return and delivery terms). — Authenticity Police Organization

Question 20

Is my piece insurable?

Accepted Answer

We provide a receipt showing materials, stone type. For pieces over $1000 we recommend insuring separately from a general homeowner's policy. — Authenticity Police Organization
