Zuni jewelers are known for their ability to work with small pieces of stone. Needlepoint is one of the most difficult styles to perfect. Each stone first needs to be individually shaped and then set into a small sterling silver bezel. These coral earrings each contain 17 perfectly shaped coral pieces set in tiny saw tooth bezels. Placed on the outer edge of the earrings are small silver drops. These earrings are signed FE which is the hallmark of Frances Eustis.
