NOS Sterling Silver |
Beautifully detailed repousse and stamped designs with five different stones set in hand cut bezels. | ||||||||||||
Paula says - "This sterling silver multi-stone pin is decorated with traditional designs using both repousse and stamping. It is NOS (new old stock) that was made in the 1970s but was never used - brand new vintage! "Are you wondering why this item is not described as Native American made? You can find the answer by clicking here."

What is repousse? A method of embossing metal by stamping and hammering a design from the back to produce a three-dimensional bas-relief surface on the front. |
