Hammer and stamp work is done by hand using special hammers and stamps to create beautifully repeated yet simple patterns.
Stamp work is done using metal stamps, each with a unique tip. Imagine a smaller version of a flat-head screwdriver that has a unique point. With each stamp, Native American jewellery artists create beautiful designs using this repeated technique in patterns.
Stamp patterns can be as simple as a sunburst on a metal bracelet to intricate portraits and landscapes- all done with single or multiple stamping tools.
Please note the chain is not included with this piece.
