OUR STORY

Rooted in Community

In 1971, Don C. began selling turquoise from a motel lobby in Gallup, NM. Listening to artisans' needs, Thunderbird Supply evolved into a cornerstone for Native American silversmiths and jewelry makers. Today, we remain family-owned, honoring our roots while serving a diverse, global community.

Artisan Spotlight

Adam Fierro
“I am Adam Fierro I was born in Gallup, New Mexico. Raised in the City of Albuquerque. I am Mestizo Indian. Meaning, I am both Native American and Spanish European. I am a third generation artist and I specialize in a contemporary design, but am not confined to any particular design or style. My Designs are always evolving and changing constantly. I love to make jewelry that is breath taking. Something that you will never forget. And I love the sense of freedom I get when making something totally in freestyle form. No planning or using patterns. Just let the turquoise speak to you and tell you what it wants to be.”

"I've been creating Native American jewelry for over a decade, and Thunderbird Supply has been my go-to for quality materials. Their turquoise beads are consistently vibrant and well-cut, and their tools hold up to daily use in my studio. It's clear they understand the needs of artists who value tradition, craftsmanship, and reliability. I wouldn't trust my work with anything less."
