Techniques include casting, stamping, repousse, inlaying and hand forging. Casting is one of the oldest methods, involved pouring molten silver into a carved sandstone molds to create unique, textured designs. Stamping is another technique, where handmade or modified steel stamps are used to imprint various patterns, or symbolic motifs onto the metal. The repousse method involves hammering the reverse side of the silver to create raised relief designs. Hand-forging with hammers and files allows for the shaping of bracelets, rings, and conchos, ensuring each piece is unique. Inlaying is a stone setting technique where individual stones are precisely cut and set into a silver mold such as a bracelet, bolo, rings, etc.Stone setting such as turquoise and other gemstones, such as coral, jet, shell, and other stones is also part of the silversmithing technique. Stones are set using the bezel setting, where a thin silver strip is wrapped around the stone and soldered onto the piece.
