Calvin Begay question

This name is associated with problematic and illegal use of the hallmark on non-Native material (and non-Calvin work). As always, microinlay in particular is a kind of jewelry widely faked and very commonly Asian import in orgian.

There are many threads online about the legal suits, and a thread here on the forum that will be of interest. In short, he made jewelry but his hallmark was illegally faked on or applied to other material.
