Copyrights & Rules of Design Laws & Practices: A Designers Rights
"Be Original"
This includes the following:

Each week, Gia (Angela) searches the Internet to make sure that her jewelry designs are not copied or replicated. It is against
the law to replicate another designers designs/work and then claim and market them as your own. Please keep in mind each
design pictured on site is copyrighted. Gia K. has not authorized anyone, including artists, or clothing companies the permission
to recreate or duplicate any of her designs for any purpose. Each item in featured on the site was designed by Gia upon
customer or clothing line request.

Being an artist and jewelry designer is about being original and unique... There have been several questions about the
bracelets on Brook Avenue's clothing site. Gia K. designed the bracelets about 3 years ago. She had the idea to combine big
chunky stones to make bracelets from black onyx and black-stone for men. In 2006, Gia K. met "Crash" John Matos and was
asked to design a total of four bracelets for the Brook Avenue line after sending various bracelet styles to him for review. Out
of a total of 8 designs that were originally sent to John Matos of Brook Avenue, only four were selected. Gia K. decided to
take the other four designs and add them to her own line of bracelets. The others were retired and are owned by Gia K.

Recently, it was brought to my attention that a few local CSU and UC college association orgs attempted to duplicated my
bracelet designs and use them for their own means. This is illegal. It's copyright infringement. You do not have the right to take
someone's design, or form and then slap your club or org's logo on it. So I have decided to go after them... What a shame...

"Surround yourself with light, goodness, positivity and love. Remove all aspects of negativity from your life - shut it out.
When we wear stones, gems or jewels, which all have certain positive and metaphysical qualities, we are accentuating
our souls. To accentuate your soul, is to stone one's soul. Meditate..."
