B746NA “Thunderbird Days”

The colors in this bracelet, as they combined while I made it, seemed to have a special beauty– turquoise and purple, rare in nature and rare here. The wise THUNDERBIRD seems rather protective, his patterned wings and tail are spread and he is watching– what? Beside this handsome sterling and turquoise focal charm there are 2 sterling openwork feathers, then sterling concho charms with little snake eye turquoise stones, 2 turquoise cluster charms with 14 small turquoise stones around a center stone, 2 sterling nicely patterned squash blossom charms, 2 elegant old Navajo turquoise charms and 2 more concho charms with little dangles. I’ve added 6 turquoise howlite freeform slices to the band and last, a little bundle of beads at the back of the focal charm just for interest. The band has 2 vintage sterling melon beads and natural Russian charoite rondelles. The toggle clasp has a pretty flower pattern with a sterling feather bar.
