Types of Native American Jewelry (part 4)

Navajo Stampwork
This style is mostly associated with the Navajo, and can be used to create the design on a piece of jewelry or added in conjunction with other silverwork.
If done correctly, stampwork can create a beautiful piece of jewelry or greatly enhance another style with a finishing touch or added detail.

TIP: Stampwork requires considerable skill. If one edge is not placed flat on the silver it may not leave a satisfactory image or bite too deep on one side but not the other. If held too loosely or not struck properly leave a double image. If struck in the wrong place nothing can really erase it.
