Hawaiian Jewelry

Hawaiian jewelry dates back to the Victorian era and draws great inspiration from the gold enameled jewelry popular in England during that time. When on a visit to England, Hawaiian royals were enchanted with the gold bracelets enameled with their names, presented to them by Queen Victoria. They immediately popularized these personalized forms of jewelry back home.

Traditional Hawaiian jewelry is similar to old English script style lettering filled with black enamel and raised or embossed polished lettering. These jewelry pieces are further enhanced with hand-engraved Hawaiian motifs of exotic flowers and royal crests. Bracelets, pendants, and rings with an engraving of one’s name on the jewelry [Jewelry Engraving] are popular Hawaiian jewelry accessories.

Generally designed in yellow, white, and rose gold and silver, Hawaiian jewelry is an expression of sentiment, fidelity, and nostalgia. Natural stones like coral, pearls, and diamonds are also incorporated into Hawaiian jewelry. Presenting bracelets on special occasions to express love, gratitude, and friendship is a Hawaiian tradition that continues even today.
