Navajo Stamp Work: The earliest form of the adornment of silver was stamping. This method would usually incorporate the use of chisels, awls, punches and files. Early stamp work designs often imitated the patterns of Mexican leather work of the day. Traditional Navajo jewelry is symmetrical, repetitive and balanced in proportion and design. Patterns were often begun in the center of the piece and worked toward the edges.
