SPECIAL PRICE OFFER: The owner has authorized a price reduction of 25% from the original price of $160 to the current price of $120.

Popularized by Hotelier Fred Harvey for the tourist trade along the railroad in the beginning of the 20th century, the Thunderbird design has become an icon of the Southwestern Indian. It is instantly recognizable as a symbol of the American Southwest. It has its origins deep in the past histories and stories of the inhabitants of New Mexico and Arizona.

The attention to detail in the stamp work of these Thunderbird earrings makes them a classic, elegant example of jewelry made by Navajos for tourists traveling in the Southwest during the 1930s and 1940s. They are equipped with screw posts.
