More on Definition of Handmade
Posted by Leah on Apr 4, 2007
I found a page on silversmithing.com that shows the FTC guidelines for what can or can not be called handmade jewelry.
The page also shows some other useful legal information for jewelers, so I recommend it for anyone who makes or sells jewelry. It’s definitely “legalese” but they’ve picked out the important bits of information, so it’s not too hard to understand.
By the way - thanks to Karen who wrote to me regarding my previous post on this topic, which led me to looking up the guidelines. Karen also pointed out that there was a problem with the comment function - no doubt that was the result of my server move - but it is fixed now. Some permalinks have changed, so if you link to specific articles in my blog, you might need to update the links.
