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 resin in 2018. Creating unique pieces was very important to me and by teaching myself the traditional stringing methods through trials and errors, I finally perfected my shell lei making skills a year later. 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.
