Gilbert Dino Garcia Tufa-Cast Sterling Silver Thunderbird Necklace

Gilbert Dino Garcia Tufa-Cast Sterling Silver Thunderbird Necklace Handcrafted by Kewa Pueblo silversmith Gilbert "Dino" Garcia, who is know for his tufa-cast sterling silver, vibrant natural stones, geometic designs, and traditional Native American motifs. Gilbert Dino Garcia uses soft tufa stone from a site his grandfather showed him in Arizona, carving each mold by hand. Because the stone is so delicate, each mold is used only once, making every piece truly one of a kind — with intricate designs on both the front and back. This incredible necklace showcases seven thunderbird panels, each set with lapis, turquoise, coral, and opal and linked with hand-wrought silver. Detailed on both sides, it reflects Gilbert “Dino” Garcia’s masterful craftsmanship and signature style. 31" Total Length1.5" x 2" Center Pendant1" x 1.5" Cascading PendantsArtist: Gilbert Dino GarciaMaterial: Tufa-cast sterling silverDesign: Y-shaped necklace with geometric thunderbird pendantsSton
