Selecting Stores With Beautiful Handcrafted Hawaiian Jewelry

By Nancy Gardner


The lovely state of Hawaii is a dream destination. Just visualize holding a drink while strolling the sandy beaches. As a vacation spot, there are plenty of sites to see.

Of course when going on a holiday, there is the obligatory shopping trip. Among the countless things available to purchase is handcrafted Hawaiian jewelry. These companies offer wonderfully made accessories that are quintessentially symbolic of an island state. They have been around for a long time so it is entwined in their history and culture.

The long history of this type of souvenir was started more than one hundred years ago. Queen Victoria gave the monarch a bracelet gift to show the friendship between Hawaii and England. They were so impressed with the gift that they started making their own designs. There you will see flowers, enamel, slippers, and other classically island themed designs that is rare in other parts of the world.

There are many places to shop in. Each place will offer gold, pearl, enamel, and other types. You surely will be spoiled for choice with the amount they have on display. Obviously the shops that cater mostly to tourists have a higher markup on their items. To look for real value go for the lesser known shops. These could offer good value for money if you take the time to assess their items.

Because these metals are not luxurious there may be issues with tarnishing. Check with the companies if they offer repairs, exchanges and returns in case of poor quality in their product. There are many shops selling 14 karat necklaces pendants and other pieces. They have great prices and make wonderful gifts.

You can check web sites that review the different shops that sell these pieces. There are forums that you should read to check for honest reviews of customers who have previously purchased. Make a plan for which company you would like to buy from. Dont fall for any tourist traps. When you plan ahead you will save yourself from unnecessary spending.

Personalized gifts are very special. You can have something made for yourself and your loved ones. It certainly shows more thought was placed in the gift than buying a box of chocolates.

If you will not go to the island, you can still enjoy their wonderful accessories. Many shops have web sites and from there youll be able to choose what you want to purchase and have it shipped to your home. You can still get a taste of luxury without having to leave your city.

For a beautiful addition to your collection or if you would like to give a gift that will be treasured, consider a hand made item. It will make the receiver feel special that you have extended your generosity. Compare prices and get the most value for your hard earned money. Get the best deals you can by doing the proper research for the items you would like to buy.
