Jacquie Aiche’s New Collection Harnesses the Energy of the Thunderbird
The “Thunderbird Slab” collection features a thunderbird motif as a symbol of power, protection, and boundless possibility.

It centers on a thunderbird motif, which is a mythical symbol of power, protection, and boundless possibility.
Aiche, the designer of her namesake brand, created the collection as a tribute to personal transformation, inner freedom, and the spirit of self-discovery.
"The thunderbird has been a powerful totem for centuries,” said Aiche.
“It’s known to be a messenger of transformation and a symbol of divine awakening. For me, it’s a symbol of limitless potential, freedom, and the power of following your own path.”
The motif, which Aiche has been using in her collections for years, is now seen in 14-karat yellow gold with diamond accents on one-of-a-kind gemstone slabs.
Throughout the collection, the thunderbird motif is paired with turquoise, rutilated quartz, chrysoprase, or agate.
Aiche said, “Each gemstone was hand-selected for its grounding earth energy. When paired with the strength and spirit of our thunderbird, the blend becomes a talisman ... A reminder of your inner strength and divine connection.”
The collection retails from $4,950.
The Thunderbird Slab collection debuted at Couture in June and is available on the Jacquie Aiche website.
