“Jolene Bird (born 1963) is a master lapidary artist and jeweler from the Kewa Pueblo (Santo Domingo Pueblo) in New Mexico. Celebrated for her exceptional craftsmanship, she seamlessly blends traditional Pueblo motifs with innovative contemporary design. Her journey into authentic Native American jewelry making began under the guidance of her grandfather, who taught her the foundational skills of identifying, selecting, and working with premium natural stones. To further elevate her craft, she refined her technical skills by studying silversmithing at the renowned Poeh Cultural Center (Poeh Institute).”
