Custom Jewelry Designs
We create one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces tailored to client specifications. Our process begins with concept sketches, progresses through detailed wax models, and concludes with hand-finished goldwork. Clients can commission personalized Hawaiian motifs, family heirlooms, or contemporary designs using precious metals and gemstones.
Hawaiian Heirloom Bracelets
Our signature Hawaiian heirloom bracelets feature traditional black enamel engraving and intricate floral patterns. Each piece tells a story through hand-carved details depicting local flora, marine life, and cultural symbols. We offer both classic designs and custom variations for special occasions like graduations and weddings.
Jewelry Repair
We provide comprehensive repair services including ring sizing, chain soldering, stone setting, and damaged jewelry restoration. Our on-site goldsmith uses traditional techniques to maintain structural integrity while preserving original design elements. Emergency repairs available with same-day service when possible.
Pearl Restringing
Our pearl care services include professional restringing, knot replacement, and cleaning. We use silk cord for traditional pearl necklaces and offer modern alternatives for enhanced durability. Clients receive care instructions to maintain luster and prevent damage from everyday wear.
Diamond Appraisals
We provide detailed diamond appraisals with microscopic analysis of inclusions and grading reports. Our appraisal process includes plot diagrams to document unique stone characteristics, ensuring accurate insurance valuation and authentication of precious gems.
