Zuni Petit Point Medallion Earrings: Intricate Artistry

The stones are formed into delicate, needle-like shapes-the signature of the petit point technique. This level of meticulous, labor-intensive craftsmanship creates a dazzling mosaic effect, showcasing the artist's dedication to precision.

The intricate nature and sheer density of the stonework make this elegant set truly special and memorable. These earrings are professionally designed for pierced ears.
