Native American Hopi handmade 925 sterling silver overlay bison earrings
Gorgeous Native American Hopi overlay handmade bison earrings. Stamped "STERLING" with a sunburst maker's hallmark. Eventually, Hopi silversmiths distinguished themselves by developing a distinctive style called silver overlay. The overlay technique uses two sheets of silver. An artist etches a design into the bottom sheet then cuts out the top sheet, so the designs show through. Next, the two silver sheets are soldered together. Finally, the top sheet is highly polished while the bottom sheet is left unpolished. After a time, oxidation creates a beautiful dark patina. Today, Hopi silversmiths are most famous for this style. Natural, beautiful patina included. May need a cleaning depending on your preferences. Tested with a neodymium magnet and JSP acid, guaranteed sterling. French wire hooks are NOT sterling silver. Unsure of metal content.
