Zuni Petit Point Medallion Earrings: Intricate Artistry

This exquisite pair of Zuni petit point medallion earrings stands as a stunning example of intricate Native American jewelry artistry.

The circular design serves as a canvas for remarkably fine stonework, featuring dozens of small, hand-cut turquoise gemstones meticulously set into custom silver bezels. 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.
