No less an expert than Elizabeth Taylor once proclaimed, “Jewelry is the one little thing that can make you feel totally unique.”

(And for those too young to know who Elizabeth Taylor was, we give you this quote from Beyoncé
and Jay-Z: “Love is the diamond that the jewelry
nd art decorate.”)
 
So whomever you prefer to use as a green light to
buy jewelry, rest assured Waikiki Beach Walk has some gorgeous and eternal ways to show off how you vacationed in paradise.

Kolohe means 'rascal' in Hawaiian, and for Kolohe
the jeweler, they take that to mean to be unique
and different, to challenge norms and to be unconventional. That’s why their mission is to
enable their customers to create inspiring stories.
 
The key word here is “create,” and this is a true
point of distinction for Kolohe, because Kolohe 
allows you to design your own jewelry.
 
Not only is it surprisingly affordable, but also super easy to do in just 3 easy steps:
 
Step one: Make your request. Access a custom inquiry form at shopkolohe.com and submit it with your design vision. Include inspirational photos
and/or drawings, stone request, budget and any other important information.

Step two: Review the renderings. Kolohe will respond with any follow up questions and 2-3 renderings, in which you may revise and modify to your heart’s desire (we couldn’t resist using that description).
 
Step three: Finalize the design. Once you arrive at the perfect design, you will provide final approval and they begin production. Depending on the intricacy of the design, delivery can range from two weeks to up to 4 months.
 
A mere trifle of time when one considers that a diamond is forever.

Because whether it's a bold statement piece
or a subtle accent, Na Hoku’s range of jewelry
for men all exude an aura of refined elegance and unflinching confidence.
