Broken Arrow Thunderbird Pendant by Teller Indian Jewelry

This bold Broken Arrow Thunderbird Pendant by Teller Indian Jewelry is a powerful piece of wearable art, handcrafted in sterling silver and set with two vibrant turquoise stones. The central figure of the Thunderbird, a symbol of protection, power, and transformation, is stamped by hand with traditional Diné (Navajo) designs, creating a rich tapestry of sunbursts, arrows, and feather motifs across the wings and body.

The pendant features two natural turquoise cabochons, likely from the Kingman or Royston mines, known for their bright aqua hues, fine matrix, and occasional golden undertones. Each stone is selected and shaped by hand, giving the piece a distinct energy and character. The lower turquoise drop is suspended independently, adding a sense of movement and spirit to the overall design.

A broken arrow motif, featured prominently in the Thunderbird’s grasp, symbolizes peace and resolution, an uncommon yet meaningful design choice that adds both depth and visual interest.

This pendant was crafted by the Teller family, a respected line of Diné silversmiths whose work is known for its precision, bold style, and cultural integrity. Every stamp and solder reflects generations of knowledge passed down through family tradition.

The pendant is sold on its own, allowing you to pair it with your favorite chain, leather cord, or beaded necklace. Whether worn as a focal point or layered into a collection, it brings a powerful presence and a touch of the sacred to any look.
