Zuni Pueblo Screwback Chandelier Earrings are a style of traditional Native American jewelry crafted by artisans from the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. Zuni jewelry is renowned for its intricate stonework, particularly petit point, needlepoint, cluster, or inlay techniques using turquoise, coral, jet, mother-of-pearl, and sterling silver. Chandelier earrings feature dangling, multi-tiered, or fringed designs that create movement and a dramatic, layered effect—often with rows of small stones like turquoise "snake eyes" or diamond-cut cabochons.
