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.
