Jewelry is always is an important part of a clothing. Personally, I prefer to make things so little or undervalued. This is not to say that the above is also very good. However, one of my favorite parts, always wear indians jewelry. Perhaps is because I live here southwest and normal, or its growth with those from Ralph lauren all ads, but I just love it. (by the way, this is who do dee morris in Ralph lauren advertising jewelry most.
One of my favorite styles is Zuni. The Zuni tribe lives in New Mexico and is a Pueblo tribe. They are primarily agricultural and have a rich religious and cultural tradition. They learned silversmithing in about 1870 and many members of the tribe have gone on to be master craftspeople. The Petit Point style is one that is unique to the Zuni tribe. The pin to the right is a classic example. The turquoise is Kingman and is completely hand cut. The stones are bezel-set into the silver and the entire piece is hand-forged and from about 1970. What makes the style so unique is the settings--they are more or less bezel set, but have tiny prongs around the top that are sometimes decorative and sometimes functional. To set the stones, the larger ones are held in with matchsticks while the maker sets them, the smaller ones are held in with toothpicks. The pieces are kind of like a mosiac--lots of little stones, all methodically set next to each other to spell out a larger pattern and with the settings, has a sort of "embroidery" look to it, unlike any other style of jewelry. Traditionally, petit point jewelry is only for women to wear.
