Our Original idea was first handmade and signed by the silversmith or artist. Using the Lost Wax Method, the design is made again and again carrying the same trade stamps or some of them (stamping can disappear in the finishing processes).  The silver is then assembled by a Native American silversmith. No mass finishing is used. Assembled jewelry is then deburred one piece at a time by a Native American jeweler.

Lapidary artist build the inlay designs out of natural semi precious stones (Stones come from all over the world but mostly from the US)

Due to the high demand of the laboratory opal, ATSF started using man made opal in our jewelry as of 1999.

Our pieces are finally finished by Native American young talents that sand, lap, buff, polish, and shine. The quality, the workmanship, the authenticity is all guaranteed for as long as we are in business.

Our pieces carry atleast one of fowling stamps : TSF, ©, STERLING, 14 K, DINE`.
