zuni cuff with turquoise stones
Vintage silver bracelet with ten natural turquoise stones set by hand. This unique cuff - circa 1940s - was handcrafted by Zuni. Usually, this Native American turquoise jewelry is made with little or no matrix so minute brownish marks might appear in the stone from minerals in the ground when the turquoise is mined. The most traditional jewelry style by the Zuni is called petit point: tiny turquoise stones are set in their small bezels.
