These delightful small silver and turquoise cross earrings are masterfully made using the painstaking petit point technique which dots the earring with small round turquoise stones around a frame of silver. Each turquoise is set in a saw toothed bezel. Zuni master silversmiths are known for this difficult technique. These earrings are pretty and delicate and likely from the 1950s or 60s. The earrings are unmarked but test as sterling silver. They are signed "WJ Zuni" on the back and are in good condition.
