About The Zuni Cluster Bracelet

About Zuni Turquoise Cluster Jewelry The best book to explain the steps in creating Zuni cluster jewelry is Oscar Branson's Indian Jewelry Making, Volume II. Look at pages 48 and 49.

The text goes so far as to explain why so many Zuni jewelry items use a serrated bezel. When stones being set are extremely small, the serrated bezel is a better mechanism for holding these stones firmly than the straight or smooth bezel.

Subtle shifts in the color of each petit point stone will keep this bracelet interesting to the wearer's eye for decades to come! Darker blue stones are concentrated in its center.
