THOUSAND OAKS ACORN

Gem and mineral show to feature young jewelry maker
By Kyle Jorrey kjorrey@theacorn.com

BILL SPARKES/Acorn Newspapers ATHLETIC ARTIST-Chieko Hoki, 12, of Newbury Park not only twists wires into jewelry, she's somewhat of a contortionist herself. Chieko began making wire-sculpted jewelry about a year ago. Her work will be on display this weekend in Newbury Park.

(TO ACORN - May 18, 2006) Twelve-year-old Newbury Park resident Chieko Hoki said she creates jewelry out of stones and minerals because she enjoys the process-from discovering a dusty scuffed rock on the side of a road to turning it into the centerpiece of one of her handcrafted pieces.

"I just really like the rocks and how different they are," Chieko said. "When I find one, I like to think about how they would look in a necklace or how I could use them."

Chieko started creating the wire-wrapped fashion accessories a little over a year ago as a way to make use of the various stones she and her mother had collected on one of their many "rock hunts" around Southern California.

As one of the youngest members of the Conejo Gem & Mineral Club, Chieko is a self-proclaimed rock lover who's found a profitable way to use her passion.

"I'd love doing this anyway," Chieko said, "but if people want to buy the jewelry that I make, then I guess that's fine."

Chieko's work will be on display this weekend, May 20 and a Thousand Gems, sponsored by the Conejo Gem & Mineral Club. The show will take place at the Borchard Park Community Center in Newbury Park, running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday.

Offerings include exhibits, demonstrations, vendors, youth activities, silent auctions, door prizes and a snack bar.

Chieko's mother, M'Li (pronounced Ma-LEE), said the gem and mineral club took an interest in her daughter after discovering her passion for the craft.

"They loved her jewelry so much and her love for rocks that they wanted her to have a spot in the show," she said.

Though Chieko's jewelry will not be for sale at the show, it can purchased online at her website at www.hokihandcrafts.com. You can also email her at: support@hokihandicrafts.com

This weekend's show offers free admission and parking. If you want to know more about the show or the gem and mineral club, please call (818) 707-9972.

PRESS RELEASE FROM PRWEB.COM - FEBRUARY 2006

Phenom Jewelry Entrepreneur Chieko Hoki newest talent to hit the Internet.

It isn't often that a young artist shows so much promise that peaks the interest of International curiousity but that is what Chieko Hoki has managed to do. Her jewelry formations are one of a kind creations using client's favorite gem stones to match their gowns and style.

PRWEB, Feb 1, 2006 - In a move towards the eclectic concepts in creation and design, hands down, Chieko Hoki is on the verge of stardom. The young artist has been likened to a creative phenom with the ability to look at a gown or style and create the perfect compliment to the garment.

With The Emmys, Golden Globes and Academy Awards in the near future, starlets are looking for innovative design and the buzzword in intimate circles is, "Chieko Hoki". Her website has been hammered with interest - over 20,000 requests just in the last month. The funny thing is, you would expect to see designs of this magnitude selling for hundreds of dollars but these creations are actually affordable.

Chieko has taken a fun hobby and launched it into cyberspace as the home-based Internet business which sells gorgeous, hand-made jewelry using wire and semi-precious gemstone beads and pendants. "Custom orders are welcomed and no two necklaces are alike so you will always come away with an original with my personal touch", says Chieko. The site has been designed by DayLightWeb.com in such a way that you can enter the color of your gown, or your favorite gemstone and a selection will avail itself to you.

Some of the gemstones she has worked with to create amazing results are: QUARTZ, OBSIDIAN, TURQUOISE, PEARLS, FRESHWATER PEARLS, CORAL. Says Amethyst from amethystlive.com, performing artist who is featured on the site, "Chieko designed a necklace that embodies what I want to convey in my music. I love the charms, the way she laid it out and she even spelled my name out. I can't do a performance without it!" The only question you have to ask yourself is, "Do I have my original Chieko Hoki necklace yet?"
