===Carving and silversmithing===
Zuni also make [[Zuni fetishes|fetishes]] and [[necklace]]s for the purpose of rituals and trade, and more recently for sale to collectors.

The Zuni are known for their fine [[lapidary]] work. Zuni jewelers set hand-cut turquoise and other stones in silver.<ref>Adair 14</ref> Today jewelry-making thrives as an art form among the Zuni. Many Zuni have become master stone-cutters. Techniques used include [[mosaic]] and [[channel inlay]] to create intricate designs and unique patterns.

Two specialties of Zuni jewelers are [[needlepoint]] and [[petit point]]. In making needlepoint, small, slightly oval-shaped stones with pointed ends are set in silver bezels, close to one another and side by side to create a pattern. The technique is normally used with [[turquoise]], sometimes with [[coral (gemstone)|coral]] and occasionally with other stones in creating necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. Petit point is made in the same fashion as needlepoint, except that one end of each stone is pointed, and the other end is rounded.{{citation needed|date=October 2014}}
