Native American, Southwest United States, ca. 1920 CE. Zuni Petite Point jewelry is some of the most impressive Native American jewelry and this cuff bracelet is a fine and old example comprised of sterling silver and Petit Point stones that are round, oval, and pear shaped, hand-cut by a Zuni lapidarist. Zuni artisans are known for their intricate work and their meticulous attention to detail. The Zuni are also highly respected for their stonework and almost never create plain silver jewelry, as they are known for their natural turquoise from the infamous Sleeping Beauty Mine. Petit point is one of their most traditional styles and pieces use sterling silver and small, hand-selected turquoise stones. This example boasts remarkable handiwork and beauty. Breathtaking wearable art that is made nowhere else in the world! Size: 86.8 grams with stones; size: 7"L with central motif that measures 2-7/8" in diameter.
