They are known for creating intricate inlaid jewelry pieces, setting the hand cut pieces next to each other, creating unique patterns. Many times, a Zuni artist will work strictly with Turquoise. However, it is not uncommon to find highly intricate works of art, created from coral, lapis, onyx, spiny oyster, and or a variety of other stones.
