When the Commission issues or revises an industry guide, it is providing an administrative interpretation of laws it administers, including Section 5's prohibition on unfair and deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. To comply with Section 5, marketers must consider how reasonable consumers will view their claims as a whole, assessing the net impression conveyed by all elements (including the text, product names, and depictions). Rather, they provide the Commission's interpretation of Section 5 as applied to jewelry marketing, to help marketers avoid deceptive practices. Īs administrative interpretations of Section 5, the Commission's Jewelry Guides are not intended to be stricter than Section 5. Under Section 5, an act or practice is deceptive if it involves a material statement or omission that would mislead a consumer acting reasonably under the circumstances.
