Kauai Handmade

I fell in love with Kahelelani shells after learning about the history behind them and their worth. I decided to start collecting them for fun but soon introduced my very first jewelry collection made of these precious shells in 2018. Creating unique pieces has always been very important to me and by teaching myself the traditional stringing methods through trials and errors, I finally perfected my shell lei making skills in 2019. After spending some one-on-one time with a top notch goldsmith and a ton of practice, I started working with precious metals, pearls and gemstones along side with shells. Today, some of my favorite designs are made with a combination of shells and metals. Our first brick-and-mortar boutique opened at Coconut Marketplace in Kapaa in 2019. We offer Permanent Jewelry. Our Permanent Jewelry is fitted and precisely welded by a bench jeweler to ensure a perfect closure. We also offer custom length chains for those who prefer this option. Text or call to schedule an appointment for our Kapaa shop or book a mobile party island-wide where we travel to you.
