Yes, reproductions of Indonesian tribal jewelry that are meant to deceive collectors are common. If the right kind of gold (or other metal) has been used, and the style and workmanship is good, it is very difficult to differentiate authentic pieces from 'fakes'. The best source of expertise I know for jewelry from this region is Georgia Kan, propriator of Tatiana Gallery in Singapore. She offers an extensive selection of authentic Indonesian tribal jewelry and has supplied pieces for more than 20 years to many important European and American museums and collectors. She can be contacted at:

Tatiana Gallery
03-29, Tanglin Shopping Centre
19 Tanglin Road
Singapore 1024
tel. (65) 235-3560
fax. (65) 732-1345

If you would like to know more, feel free to contact me. I am a Singapore-based business consultant who has been collecting Indonesian tribal sculpture for about 15 years. Good luck. -- Mark Gordon
