Buying Beautiful Handcrafted Hawaiian Jewelry

By Nancy Gardner


Just thinking of the word Hawaii and your mind immediately takes you to images of beaches and sunshine. It is a breath taking destination unlike any other. Its one of the most popular tourist spots in the world.

If you are lucky enough to get a chance to go there you will find many souvenir items. Not only are macadamia nuts and chocolate abundant, but there are other things to buy that last much longer. A popular memento to bring back is handcrafted Hawaiian jewelry. They have unique designs that symbolize the state and have really become part of the culture of the island.

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.

Whatever is a bestseller with the tourists is going to have many copycats. There are so many accessory companies. They all sell similar designs. The ones that are more established are well known to tourists and they have higher prices than the smaller local stores.

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.

Since theres a lot of competition among the companies, try to choose the best one. Read up on forums and review web sites which one has good service and good quality items. There are many honest feedback given by customers who have bought from the company.

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.

If that type of accessory is appealing to you, search online and make a purchase. Whether you will be buying a vacation souvenir or you just want the island inspired design, find a good dealer. Getting value for money is what all customers want. Compare prices since there are so many companies to choose from and a lot of them sell similar looking designs. Check the store policy on refunds and returns because you might have a case of buyers remorse. Just be sure you are spending your money on a good product.
