Artist's Biography
Joy
Bolster
, a
Native
American
Hopi
,
designs
contemporary
jewelry
that
incorporates
the
rich
cultural
diversity
that
is
her
heritage
.
Jewelry
making
is
in her
blood
.
Both
grandfathers
were
jewelry
makers
;
one
a
Hopi
silversmith
and the
other
a
German
watch
and
fine
jeweler
. The
cultural
traditions
in her
family
range
from
Traditional
Hopi
,
Hispanic
and
German
. This
mixture
of
backgrounds
has
allowed
her to
create
jewelry
that
is
highly
appealing
. Her
pieces
are
easy
to
wear
and
resonates
with the
cultural
diversity
that
our
society
is
now
just
beginning
to
value
and its
need
to
reconnect
with
nature
. '
I
see
each
component
that
I
work
with as
part
of
our
great
Mother
Earth
. The
material
used
for
my
jewelry
designs
have been
chosen
for their
natural
beauty
and
artistry
.
Along
with the
more
primal
stone
choices
I
make
,
I
also
incorporate
artisan
beads
, and
silver
elements
from the
Hill
Tribes
of
northern
Thailand
,
Bali
and
beads
from
other
aboriginal
peoples
. The
name
Star
Flower
Stones
came
from
Joy's
Hopi
name
Blue
Star
Flower
. '
I
wanted
to
use
that
name
for
my
jewelry
because
of its
connection
to the
Earth
, the
connection
to
my
heritage
and the
feeling
of
Beauty
and
Light
that
it
evokes
.
My
hope
is
that
when
you
wear
my
jewelry
you
feel
a
little
more
connected
to
our
human
tribe
and
Mother
Earth.
