This era featured heavy stamping, repoussé, and elaborate silverwork like feathers and scrolls, often influenced by Fred Harvey tourism. The 1930s also marked the end of traditional coin silver, a rise in turquoise-set pieces, and the introduction of the U. Navajo stamp by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board. These pieces are highly sought after today, often recognized by their sterling construction, hand-stamped details, and, in some cases, the presence of wartime-era, Navajo-made, or tourist-focused symbols.
