One company answers the question this site asks, in its own FAQ
1928 Jewelry has a heading reading "Is your jewelry made in the USA?", which is close to the whole premise of this directory printed on someone else's site. The answer is worth reading slowly. The company has designed and created in the United States since 1968, and many of its pieces are still handcrafted here.
Many is not all, and 1928 chose that word. So the entry says its origin varies by piece, which is what the page says rather than what the heading implies.
The phrase "Made in USA" also appears four times on that same page, as a shop category in the navigation. A scan looking for the phrase would have found it four times over and missed the one sentence that qualifies it. This keeps happening, and it is the argument for a person reading the page.
A career that starts in the Providence jewelry district
John Medeiros states it without qualification: handmade in the United States, with hand-carved detailing on the front, sides and back. The page behind that is a story about coming to America at nine, starting in Providence at twelve, and working production lines after school.
