I am thinking of focusing on Asian for a small niche website that sells custom jewerely. Are there legal issues that I need to concern myself with? I am located in the US.

Asian countries are captured by French jewelry market and provide cheaper merchandise for sale to lower-income consumers.India's total jewelry market has grown by nearly 40 percent therefore you'll face a tough competition in asian market.
I think, If you focus on other asian countries like New Zealand, North Europe you might get better prospects.

Asia is a big exporter of jewelry. If you want to sell into that market you'd better not try to compete on price. And its not like jewelry sells on brand.

focusing on asia is way too broad....pls remember that each country speaks different language, has different culture and probably different fashion trend and on-line habits.
you will probably end with one site to thailand another to singapore and yet another one for japan...etc....

yeah! There seem no legal matters on custom jewerely products. Have a try! It's too big to target Asia market:)
