Vintage Zuni Needlepoint Turquoise Inlay Bracelet by Bryant Waatsa Jr.

Zuni needlepoint inlay is an instantly recognizable look once you've discovered it. It's unique and it's beautiful with multiple tiny turquoise pieces set in silver.

This pretty needlepoint bracelet has a symmetrical row of 23 turquoise stones accented by multiple tiny silver balls. It's by Bryant Waatsa Jr., from a prominent family of Zuni jewelers. 

Even though each piece of turquoise needlepoint inlay is tiny, the overall composition is eye catching. 

The silver bracelet is further decorated with stamp work and two flat stamped silver beads.
