We Got You, Babe
Our favorite Hawaii-based jewelry brands, and fun February events.
The Edit Hawaii
February 14, 2025
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Regardless of what your plans are or aren’t, or what your special someone did or didn’t get you for this somewhat cringey holiday—we got you, babe. Last week, we shared a few festive things we love, and this week, we have our eyes on the prize: jewelry.
We realize tastes vary and trends come and go, but, to us, all of these brands have styles that will remain worthy of your island attire for years to come. We especially love the pieces that can elevate, transform, or complete a look.
Below are just a few of our current favorite brands—ones we wear or would buy (or welcome) as a gift.
With love,
The Edit Hawaii team
(A.) Maris Pearl Co.
These are not your grandmother's pearls (though we aren’t knockin’ those!). Pieces are made using organically shaped pearls that feel more contemporary yet timeless. Plus, the brand is passionate about marine conservation, giving 5% of every sale to international organizations dedicated to preserving and stewardship our world’s oceans. @marispearlco | $45-$1,200
(B.) Damn Regina Studio
Funky pearl and shell jewelry for the gal or guy who doesn't take themselves too seriously but is seriously stylish. This Kauai-based brand can be found online or at the chic shop Sister Sister in Poipu.
@damnregina.studio | $30-$175
(C.) HIE
A modern take on heirloom pieces, specifically the Hawaiian bracelet, that perpetuates the beloved tradition. These are definitely investment pieces, but ones that have meaning, ones you can wear daily, and ones you’ll want to pass down.
@hiehawaii | $550-$6,900
(D.) Right At Sunset
Silver and gold jewels for everyone inspired by the sun and sea. Sustainably handmade on Maui by the multi-talented Andrés Quigüa.
@rightatsunset | DM for pricing
(E.) Found By Lucy
Seashell jewelry with a twist. Every necklace is unique and made on Kauai with shells—yep, you guessed it—found by Lucy or gifted to her by someone special. Drops are sporadic because of their handmade nature, and pieces sell fast.
@found_bylucy | $150-$575
(F.) Yū|Mono
Elevated everyday pieces with a minimalist, Japanese-inspired aesthetic. Stud earrings have been intentionally designed with flat backs, so you can comfortably wear them 24/7. The sculptural nature of these designs makes you feel like you’re wearing a piece of art.
@yumonodesign | $98-$650
(G.) Anaoak
Organic shapes and gemstone-forward heirloom pieces made from 18k and 14k recycled gold and responsibly sourced gemstones. Two sisters dream up each piece on the magical island of Kauai.
@shopanaoak | $610-$6,370
(H.) Sophia C
Statement-making pieces with island flare. Perfect against your sun-kissed skin. You might have seen a few pieces we especially love here.
@sophiacjewelry | $30-$495

2.15-2.16: Hookipa Hawaii Weekend
Bikinibird opened a new concept shop called Golden Trip, which is now open in Kailua and International Marketplace. You’ll find gifts and souvenirs with a modern twist for everyone.
Koloa Kauai Cacao Rum was featured in Food & Wine’s roundup of “The 10 Best Chocolate Spirits for Valentine’s Day Cocktails, According to Bartenders.” We’re admittedly skeptical of chocolatey booze, but this recipe sounds enticing.
The Hawaii Triennial starts this weekend, bringing together artists from Hawaii, the Pacific, and worldwide. HONOLULU’s article, “Your Insider Guide to the Hawai‘i Triennial,” breaks down what it is and what to expect.
