Authentic Zuni Sterling Silver Turquoise Petit Point Pin Pendant

What is Petit Point?

There are two similar techniques of using very small pieces of stone to decorate a piece and they are often confused.

Petit Point is comprised of, narrow teardrop-shaped stones that have one rounded end and one more pointed end. Also, designs using many tiny round stones are often called petit point.

Needle Point is comprised of straight, long, narrow stones that are pointed on both ends.
