[Jewelry making - Article 00828] - [Orchid] Written code of ethics for jewelers

Hello everyone!

    I have been an artist all my life, but making silver and copper
    jewelry for about a year and lurking for about the same amount of
    time. The information I have gained from this community is
    priceless! Thank you all for being so open, giving, honest and
    informative. 

    My question is this: 

    Is there a code of ethics that jewelers follow? I ask this question
    because there is someone stealing designs from students and fellow
    teachers and selling as their own original design. This hurts the
    open creative atmosphere of sharing. 

    I told my teacher I would make a "Code of Ethics" poster to hang in
    the studio, for those who are first learning and for those who need
    to read it, but after surfing the Internet, I failed to come up with
    one. I checked the archives but didn't find anything. 

    Any help or advice you can give will be greatly appreciated!
