Needlepoint and Inlay

Out of the Southwestern jewelry makers, the Zuni Indians are most known for their stone jewelry. Unlike Navajo Indian jewelry that often uses chunky stones, Zuni stone jewelry uses carefully cut, crafted and polished stones set in intricate arrangements.

Since the early twentieth century, Zuni artists have cut and shaped turquoise into very small needle-shaped pieces. These pieces are arranged into intricate patterns, often adorning the squash blossom naja and beads. Zuni American Indian jewelry artists themselves called this technique needlepoint.

Zuni Native American jewelry makers also favor inlaid stones. Inlays create a gemstone mosaic, sometimes creating traditional images like “sunface.” Some inlays separate stones with slivers of sterling silver to create geometric designs.

Renowned Zuni American Indian Artists

One of the notable Zuni Native American Indian jewelry artists we have the pleasure of working with is Orlinda Natewa. Natewa’s jewelry demonstrates a mastery of stone inlay work. Her bracelets display her characteristic sterling silver-edged geometric designs around the band.
