Mr and Mrs. Potter. Mrs Pollick and Mrs. Nancy Andersen By VIVIAN BROWN AP Newsfeatures Writer Many people are being ripped off" by the Indian jewelry craze, says Diane Schulz. people know what it is all about and it makes it easier to be cheated The jewelry is now being made in Japan.

Mexico and even in factories in our own Southwest, she insists Mrs. Schulz, who shows her jewelry collection at antiques shows, has been involved with Indian jewelry since early girlhood Her father, William Kruzman. a trader in the Southwest for the last 20 years, has taken her with him on buying trips some instances the intent is not to cheat she says of people who sell the jewelry. usually don't know enough about the jewelry to answer questions. Then.

too. most buyers don't know enough about it to ask the right She specializes in Zuni jewelry because she considers it the best investment. The Zunis are a small tribe and the art is really dying younger people don't want to do the handwork it requires because it is too time-consuming. In addition. Zuni designs require great expertise.

And there is much less Zuni work available. There are out-of-thisworld Navajo artisans, but much Navajo is she claims. is more difficult to copy and would need to be expensive." A Harvard business school graduate, for seven years Mrs. Shulz has been a Certified Public Accountant and manager with Coopers and Lybrand. an international public accounting firm She exhibits at the National Arts and Antiques Festival in New York and has a small exhibit at the Montclair Art Museum in New Jersey.

people think only old pieces are good, but you may pay the same price for a good new piece and it will be equally good in terms of investment." she explains One style of jewelry that has taken hold in New York, she contends, is silver that looks like aluminum foil with turquoise or coral crushed and set inside the silver ago one Indian family made this jewelry in excellent heavy silver, but now it looks like foil and most of it is not made by Indians." she savs. A person buying Indian jewelry should go to a reputable store and ask whether the turquoise is natural or treated much of it is being treated by various processes what kind of turquoise it is and what grade it is He should obtain a guarantee in writing, especially if the piece if expensive Turquoise should be dark with good matrix, she says, but must almost be expert to tell People are not demanding enough information so shops are not bothering to educate sales people, she adds At one auction a Zuni fire dancer bracelet, a mother of pearl disk with a dancer inlaid, was marked down from $550 to $350. but the price was identical to one she had observed in a good retail store It is often difficult to ascertain the retail value of a one-of-a-kind piece Buyers should not be concerned that a piece is unsigned Unless it is signed by one of the few well-known Indian artisans Charles Loloma. who works in many styles, or Portfelia Shaka. a Zuni artisan the signature may be meaningless, she says But some traders encourage Indians to sign as they consider it a good selling point.

Indian jewelry is not a fad. in her opinion With some women who must have everything it might be. but the jewelry reawakened a whole new market." Zuni jewelry is popular because the various motifs road runners, hummingbirds. sun gods, butterflies, bees and the like make it so collectible. The Zuni ceremonial necklace Mrs Schulz was wearing mother-of-pearl, coral and turquoise inlay should sell for about $2.000.

she said, but it would be about twice that in some stores. Her father recently gave her a beautiful and valuable squash blossom necklace A devotee of all Indian art and crafts, she has collected pottery, rugs and baskets as well as the jewelry. Four rooms of her 15-room Victorian house in New Jersey are furnished in Indian themes, and the Indian motif is used elsewhere in her house Even in her dining room the Indian things merge beautifully with the Empire furniture, she says Admitted Marion Sanford.
