Needlework is an incredibly intricate and delicate process mastered by Navajo & Zuni artisans alike. In the early days Navajo and Zuni silver jewellery looked a very similar style. However intricate stonework gradually became the basis of contemporary Zuni design. Needlepoint work consists of matched stones arranged into intricate patterns known as "clusters".
