Native American Stamp & Hallmark Info -There are no exact dates when “Sterling” was first used on Native American jewelry. Opinions vary but is suggested after 1932. Most Native American items from 1930’s and before would not have a Sterling or 925 stamp or a Artist hallmark. There are exceptions to this. Some items made in the 1940’s-1950’s may have used the Sterling stamp. In general the Sterling and or “925” stamp with a artist hallmark since the 1950’s was and is still used today.
