Black Onyx Thunderbird Dangle Earrings by Dan Dodson

Dan Dodson, a Southwest jewelry designer who collaborates with Turquoise Mustang, created these sterling silver dangle earrings featuring medium-scale thunderbird forms set with black onyx, hanging from sunburst oval onyx stud posts. The thunderbird is one of the most widely recognized symbols in Native American iconography, representing power, strength, and the connection between sky and earth — it appears across Navajo, Zuni, Hopi, and Plains traditions. Dodson's version renders the symbol in clean silver with onyx accents. Available exclusively through Turquoise Mustang.
