About Stamp Work:  Creating a piece of jewelry with stamp work requires a great deal of skill. Small metal stamps form the tools for etching the design into the silver. Stamps are created with individual designs on them, to be etched around the border or used as the center image. Many silversmiths have passed stamps down in their families, allowing each generation to continue a favorite design or pattern. The pendant is hallmarked "Sterling".  Jet is much lighter weight than Onyx.  Jet is a type of lignite, a precursor to coal.  Jet is not considered a true mineral, but rather a mineraloid as it has an organic origin, being derived from decaying wood under extreme pressure.  Jet is a favored stone by Native American artisans.   I have included an 18 " sterling silver link chain necklace so you can wear the pendant immediately.   This pendant has been hand polished many times with a soft polishing cloth to a beautiful shiny appearance.  That is the beauty of sterling silver, it can become dark and be brought back to a beautiful shine time after time.  

Never out of style, Southwest jewelry is an investment in enjoyment to last a lifetime.
