Everything associated with Hawaii has an air of mystery, a connection with the spirits of the volcanoes, flowers, oceans and beaches. Hawaiian jewelry has been passed down the ages as marvelous gift items
Hawaiian jewelry has a traditional background which dates back to more than a century as it was first born by Queen Lili?uokalani in the late 1800's. It was initially inspired by Queen Victoria, but soon captured a distinct island quality. The jewelries have a touch of their holy spirit, Aloha. Hawaiian jewelries have some unique engravings of Ku'uipo (sweetheart) and Ku'ualoha (My Love) or your name in Hawaiian.
The actual uniqueness of the Hawaiian jewelry lies in their use of natural materials found around the islands. Some of the common materials used to make bracelets, necklaces, wristlets, earrings, etc. are puka sheels, opihi shells, cowrie shells, coconut, bamboo, shark teeth, carved fish bones, mother of pearl, plumeria, sandal charms and others. The jewelry which is made with some precious stones adorned in the Hawaiian Jewelry is known as Heirloom Hawaiian Jewelry. The available choices from which Hawaiian jewelry can be made are diamond, 14 K gold, opals, different shades of pearls and precious corals in various colors.
Hawaiian Jewelry is quite popular even today. There are many shops all over the world which have a wide range of exclusive Hawaiian Jewelry. However, Hawaiian jewelry also needs to be taken care of. It should be gently polished with any kind of jewelry cleaner available in the market. They should not be dipped in any kind of solution as it may damage the shine of the product. Hawaiian jewelry made of silver should be thoroughly protected from getting tarnished and should be taken to professionals for maintenance at regular interval of times.
