Timeless Craftsmanship Meets
Southwestern Culture
Our Story
Thunderbird Origins began as retired dentist Dr. John Bennett, who always had a love and skill of working with his hands, also wanted to be a jewelry craftsman. Here in the New Mexico mountains, we honor the rich culture and artistry of the Southwest. Thunderbird Origins crafts unique sterling silver and turquoise (along with other gems and gold) jewelry with a modern, elegant touch. Our mission is to provide pieces that embody originality, refined craftsmanship, and authenticity for those who cherish wearable art heirlooms.
