Hand-Stamped Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings by Elaine Becenti, Navajo

Elaine Becenti, a Navajo silversmith, hand-stamped traditional Southwestern patterns across these sterling silver half-hoop earrings with an oxidized finish that deepens the contrast of each stamp impression. Hand stampwork is a fundamental Navajo silversmithing technique in which steel stamps are struck into the silver surface with a hammer to create decorative impressions — each stamp mark is individual, and no two pieces are identical. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
