In the world today, it is very common for people to become attracted to designs or traditional objects from other cultures. Some people who are not Hindu find the art or the style of dress (the sari, for example, or certain Indian jewelry) very beautiful; others collect art objects from ancient cultures. Just because you are not Polynesian, that does not mean you are forbidden to appreciate Polynesian culture. It should be noted, however, that some religious symbols are very sacred to a particular religion, and some traditionalists believe it is wrong to wear them if you are not from that religion. For example, if you are a Christian, it might be considered rude to wear a piece of jewelry with a picture of a Hindu god. However, if you are not a religious person and just appreciate the work as art (rather than as theology), there should be no problem.
