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.  

I put new sterling silver ear backs on the earrings.  The beauty of sterling silver is that it will become dark and can be polished back to a beautiful shine time after time.  I have hand polished these earrings with a polishing cloth.  Never out of style, Southwest jewelry is an investment in enjoyment to last a lifetime.
