Cluster work is possibly the most common craft technique within native jewellery and can resemble the needlework styles. Cluster work within jewellery consists of matched stones arranged and set into flower-like patterns known as 'Clusters'. Petit point techniques are a refinement of these and consist of small stones rounded on one side, using a grinding wheel to create a tear drop-like shape.
