Polishing is done once a piece is totally
wrapped up. Native American jewelry specialists
utilize a basic and straightforward polishing
process. Base metals utilized as a part of a
given style are smoothed and polished to
reflect sparkly. This is normally finished with
cuff style bracelets, rings, and earrings.
