Overview & history
Zuni jewelry is distinguished by intricate lapidary work — needlepoint, petit-point, channel inlay, and figural mosaics. Signed and finely inlaid pieces lead here.
Identifying & marks
Look for precise, small-scale stonework set in fine silver, often signed by the artist. Needlepoint and channel inlay are Zuni hallmarks distinct from Navajo's heavier silverwork.
