<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 4271779, member: 45&quot;]All I can tell you, is that <i>petit point </i>jewelry is a style which was credited to, and created by, Zuni jewelry makers, dating back to the 1920s.</p><p><br /></p><p>And since then, it has been copied by other Native American tribes, non-Native American craftspeople, and by factories operating in the Philippines, China, and probably elsewhere.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The copies are certainly not limited to petit point jewelry, but the uniform sizes and patterns of this style, do make it easy for forgeries to be made.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whenever you see the exact same ring or bracelet, or even the same setting with slightly different color of stones, it is cause for questioning, and likely means the piece is a copy or fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been unable to find this stamp in any of the reputable references, in print or on line.&nbsp; This is also reason to doubt the authenticity.&nbsp; (Keep in mind, I&#039;m referring to &quot;reputable references,&quot; not just examples of listings on web sites, of which there may be hundreds, thanks to those who do their &quot;researching&quot; on line!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
