Dispatched within two working days, tracked and signed.

The smaller of the two thunderbirds.

The thunderbird is a giant bird of Native American legend, said to carry good fortune without limit.

Struck the same way as the full size — one blow into hand-worked silver, no correcting it afterwards.

It carries Luck on the back, transferring that energy to your body.

"Imbued with good fortune,
it guards the wearer from illness, accident and every misfortune."
- Katou Shun

Care

Made to age

The silver darkens as you wear it. That is the point, not a fault to fix.

It goes fastest in the stamped lines, which is where most of the detail sits, so the pattern reads more clearly the longer you own it.

If you would rather have it bright, a polishing cloth brings the shine back. Silver dips and chemical cleaners are faster, but they lift the dark out of those lines as well and take the detail with it.

In Japan an almost black patina is read as a sign of long use. This work is made to age.

The chains fasten with a hook rather than a lobster clasp, so take yours off before swimming or bathing.
