What is sterling silver overlay? It is a thick layer of sterling silver laid on top of a firmer, usually thicker base during the manufacturing process. This makes the finished piece more sturdy and less prone to bending.

Native American Hopi overlay techniques involve the soldering of two layers of sterling silver together: an oxidized bottom layer and a top layer cut with various Native American symbols.

This overlay technique gives the jewelry a multi-dimensional look.
