I absolutely love this company. The people are friendly and have been able to answer all of my questions. When I am in Albq, Thunderbird Supply is one of the first places I visit. They have a good selection of seed beads and quickly ship when I can't make it to Albq.

I've consistently experienced wait times when visiting Thunderbird Supply due to high demand for silver. This might be a consideration for those seeking a quick purchase, but the quality of their silver products remains commendable.

Well staffed, quick, friendly service. Had exactly what I needed! I highly recommend
Thunderbird Supply Company originated in 1971, as a humble display case in a motel lobby in Gallup, New Mexico. Native American silversmiths and craftsmen came to buy finished stone for the jewelry they created and are renowned for to this day. Word began to spread of the good customer service and competitive prices, and soon Thunderbird found itself with a larger and larger list of customers who were interested in more than just finished stonework. Today, Thunderbird is a corporation serving a worldwide market with an inventory of over 15,000 jewelry supply items, from lapidary tools to display cases. It employs people in three locations (Flagstaff, AZ; Gallup, NM; and Albuquerque, NM) and is still family-owned.
