The “Thunderbird Slab” collection features a thunderbird motif as a symbol of power, protection, and boundless possibility.
The brand’s latest “Thunderbird Slab” collection showcases one-of-a-kind gemstone slabs with 14-karat yellow gold and diamond thunderbird motifs.
Los Angeles—Jacquie Aiche has released its new “Thunderbird Slab” collection.
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.
