QUESTION
May I keep the jewelry or is this considered stolen property that I must return if the creator claims she never got paid?

Hopefully you have the receipts or cancelled checks to prove the purchase.

You bought the jewelry from a person that was authorized to sell it. It is yours since you are not responsible for checking if the maker got paid.

You have no relationship with the creator. Your transaction, provided it was an arms length one, was with the reseller only. the creator's action lies with the reseller, not you.
