More about Crosses
Hawaiian Cross Jewelry
Christian missionaries arrived in Hawaii in 1820. Within two generations, Christian faith had become woven into Hawaiian culture in a way that produced something genuinely distinct: a spiritual tradition expressed through Hawaiian visual language, not imported wholesale from New England. The cross as it appears in Hawaiian jewelry reflects that harmony through scroll pattern and island motifs.
Designs in the Crosses Collection
Our cross collection features necklaces in sterling silver and 14K gold. Most designs incorporate at least one Hawaiian element: scroll engraving, plumerias, or both. Some pieces are fine and delicate, suited for everyday wear. Others are larger, with more elaborate engraving detail intended as more statement pieces. We also offer diamond crosses adorned on the ends of the design or centered in flowers.
Craftsmanship
Every piece is crafted in solid 14K gold or sterling silver. The scroll engraving on cross jewelry are as detailed and culturally rich as on our heirloom bracelets. Patterns flow throughout the crosses without losing continuity, while plumeria details are carefully placed and cared for as we do with our flower jewelry collections.
Choosing a Cross Piece
Hawaiian cross jewelry is a natural choice for baptism, first communion, and confirmation gifts. A perfect choice for anyone who holds their faith and Hawaiian identity close to them. They're also excellent gifts for celebrating milestones like graduations, weddings, and birthdays.
