Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Earrings - Three Circles with Nine Cabochon Each
Zuni Petit Point Jewelry began around 1920-1930 and was a unique form of Turquoise Jewelry created by the Zuni Native Americans. A Petit Point stone is a tiny round, oval, rectangle, pear or square shaped stone hand cut by a Zuni Lapidarist. The tiny stones are then clustered to form a unique design. Petit Point Jewelry like this example is unique to the Zuni People, and not made anywhere else in the world!
Sleeping Beauty turquoise was excavated from Globe, Arizona until 2012. This rare gem is sought after worldwide for its solid sky blue hue. If you'd like to adorn yourself with a piece of Eastern Arizona, purchase this piece or any from our extensiveSleeping Beauty Collection Here!
