Hawaiian Heirloom jewelry carries on the tradition of Queen Victoria, who in 1887 presented Princess Lili’uokalani with a solid gold bracelet, engraved in old English with her name. The elegant style of this jewelry soon became very popular among Hawaiian Royalty and expanded to include other significant designs of Hawaiian origin such as plumeria and maile leaves.
Heirloom jewelry is the best type of gift for many reasons. Let us explore why you should strongly consider giving Hawaiian heirloom jewelry for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and more.
-
It is timeless. The bangles, pendants, necklaces and other heirloom pieces in our collection will always be in style. Crafted with solid gold, these pieces last and remain cherished for years.
- It can be personalized. Our Hawaiian heirloom jewelry can be custom ordered with a personalized name, different scroll designs, diamonds and more. Most designs can also accommodate an engraving on the inside or backside (space permitting), making them perfect to present on significant life events or creating unique, meaningful gifts.
-
The craftsmanship is superior. Each of our Hawaiian heirloom jewelry pieces is not only hand engraved with meticulous attention to detail, but also made with the highest level of craftsmanship and high-quality materials. This is our commitment to the tradition and authenticity of this treasured art form that is meant to be worn with pride and handed down from generation to generation.
- It is sentimental. Jewelry is such a sentimental, personal gift. The effort and time you take to carefully select and personalize a piece of jewelry demonstrates that you care and is a great way to show the wearer your deep appreciation and love.
- It is traditional. Bringing gifts when visiting someone is a long-standing tradition in Hawai'i. This heirloom jewelry recalls an earlier time and carries on the tradition, bringing the spirit of Queen Victoria’s generosity to our Hawaiian Princess Lili’uokalani into modern times.
- It offers long-term enjoyment. Unlike items that may soon be discarded or forgotten, a piece of jewelry is not just a gift but a valuable addition to one's wardrobe. Jewelry offers a timeless keepsake that will bring joy for years.
- Its value appreciates over time. Like other heirlooms, gold heirloom jewelry becomes more valuable as time progresses. As it is passed down through multiple generations, it retains its value and enriches the family legacy.
