Award-Winning Hawaiian Jewelry

Recognition from within the jewelry industry and from the broader Hawaiian community are two different things, and they tend to measure different qualities. The Hawaii Jewelers Association evaluates craftsmanship, design originality, and technical execution. Hawaii Magazine reflects what resonates with the people who live in and love these islands. The pieces in this collection have earned both kinds of recognition, which is a harder standard to meet than either one alone. What they have in common is that they represent the clearest expression of what this shop does: fine Hawaiian jewelry that is specific to the islands in material, motif, and execution.

What the Collection Covers

Award-winning designs span the categories that define Honolulu Jewelry Company: island pearls, sea life designs, tropical flowers, classic Hawaiian heirloom work, and more. These are not limited editions or one-time pieces held behind glass. They are wearable jewelry, available in the shop, that happened to be recognized as exemplary work. The common thread is a clarity of design: each piece is doing exactly what it set out to do, and nothing extra. That restraint tends to be what distinguishes award-recognized jewelry from merely attractive jewelry.

Craftsmanship

Every piece is handcrafted in Honolulu. The pieces in this collection were recognized in part because the craft shows. Clean metalwork, well-set stones, proportions that hold under close inspection: these are not details that judges overlook. The pieces are made in 14K gold and sterling silver, solid throughout, with genuine diamonds and pearls where those materials are part of the design.

Choosing an Award-Winning Piece

This is the right collection for someone who wants to give or own something representative of the best Hawaiian fine jewelry currently being made in Honolulu. It suits milestone occasions where the quality of the piece matters as much as the gesture. For a broader look at the categories these pieces come from, the rest of the shop organizes our work by collection and motif, and the award-winning designs sit within those families as well.
