The Thunderbird is a symbol that represents power and protection to the indigenous peoples of North America. During the Fred Harvey era, it was one of the agreed-upon symbols that was used in jewelry for sale in the American Southwest. The symbol spread across the globe and is now a symbol that’s emblematic of that place and time.
This Fred Harvey piece can be worn with other Fred Harvey pieces, but it really shines when it takes center stage with other cuffs and bracelets. Find another piece and have a matching pair on each wrist for added flair. Mix and match with newer pieces by current Navajo artists and I might be a little jealous.
To care for this cuff, clean with a lint-free cloth.
