Holly Yashi Jewelry

This exquisite collection of handcrafted artisan jewelry is designed in Arcata, California by Holly Hosterman. Holly and her husband Paul "Yashi" Lubitz co-founded Holly Yashi over 35 years ago and have been making "jewelry as art" ever since.  This collection uses an array of metals such as silver, gold and niobium with genuine gemstones, freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals and much more. Holly's favorite medium is niobium. Niobium is as light as a feather, 100% hypoallergenic, and extremely strong. Holly has been using this metal for over 35 years and is a pioneer in the use of niobium.  Niobium at first seems to be dull gray metal but when dipped in a bath of electrically charged water, it turns into hues of rich, permanent color. Holly has received numerous awards for her innovative designs.
