One of a Kind piece


Santo Domingo bolo tie : Thunderbird made of a mosaic inlay of Kingman turquoise (Arizona), apple coral, pipestone, black-jet and jasper. 

As an emblematic piece of Pueblo jewelry, this Thunderbird bolo tie has a very special and interesting history: it echoes the Thunderbird necklace.

Pueblo jewelers are representatives of early days Native jewelry. Indeed, Pueblo artists have been making jewelry from natural materials (stones, shells, wood...) for many moons, but during the economic crisis of 1929, they had to adapt to the situation in order to continue their jewels production. They created jewelry using their ancestral mosaic technique, but with unconventional materials (plastic from car batteries or vinyl records, buttons, kitchen utensils... upcycling you think? You are right!) These new techniques born in times of crisis even have a name : Santo Domingo Depression Jewelry. 

This period of the Great Depression saw the birth of colorful and emblematic jewelry that is now part of the great history of Native jewelry.
 

Today, this famous Thunderbird is still made in Santo Domingo, but with noble materials. Originally a necklace, it is here in the form of a beautiful bolo tie.


As for the Thunderbird itself, it is an emblematic Native symbol of the Wild West. It is a mystical bird that creates thunder by flapping its wings and throw lightning bolts by blinking its eyes.


Want to wear a strong, iconic piece, steeped in history and symbolism? This bolo tie is for you!
