Zuni artisans, known for their intricate stonework, specialize in petite point (small, cone-shaped stones) or needlepoint techniques, where numerous tiny turquoise stones are meticulously cut, shaped, and set into clusters on a sterling silver cuff base. This style emerged prominently in the 1920s, evolving from earlier inlay traditions, and emphasizes precision—each stone is often set in sawtooth bezels for a secure, sparkling effect. Turquoise, revered in Southwestern cultures for symbolizing healing, protection, and good fortune, is typically sourced from mines like Sleeping Beauty (Arizona) or Kingman, featuring vibrant blue-green hues with natural matrix (veining).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648544952485,"sku":"5224-0590","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/5224-0590_1.jpg?v=1764973210","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/zuni-turquoise-cluster-cuff-bracelet","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
