A Zuni turquoise needlepoint necklace with a maker’s mark exemplifies the tribe’s celebrated attention to detail and color harmony: tiny, hand-cut turquoise stones are meticulously inlaid in a repeating needlepoint pattern that creates a textured ribbon of vivid blue and green hues set in sterling silver, often accented with fine beadwork or rope-edge bezels; the presence of a maker’s mark—an engraved symbol or initials on the clasp or back of the pendant—adds provenance and collectible value by identifying the individual artisan or family workshop responsible for the piece, linking it to a living tradition of lapidary skill and design that appeals to collectors and wearers who value both authenticity and timeless Southwestern style.
