The Zuni Native American Indian reservation is located 32 miles southwest of Gallup, N.M. They have been known for making Needlepoint (tiny needle shaped stones), Pettipoint (tiny round, oval or square stones) and Turquoise Inlaid Jewelry for since the early 20th century.

The Zuni Indians focus on stone cutting, they make simplistic silver pieces to accommodate their fabulous stonework. Rings, Bracelets, Earrings, Pendants and Necklaces are made with fine and delicate Turquoise and other Gemstones set in artistic designs in both Inlay as well as bezel set stones.
