on a friday

when it strikes + zia

it's no surprise that on a friday, the indie jewelry line based on oahu, has been getting a lot of buzz online. the website is one of the prettiest around and proprietor/jewelry designer liana miyamura creates handcrafted pieces that are also affordable. the when it strikes necklace caught my fancy and would definitely make football sundays a bit more stylish for this charger girl-at-heart.

since everything at on a friday is one-of-a-kind it's best not to wait to pick up your favorite piece since you may later return to find a sold sign mocking your procrastination. and here's a good reason to fill up your basket: orders over $100 score free shipping!

janet jewelry redux

there's always something fresh happening over at janet jewelry, which must make her an inspired and busy bee with all the new goodies that are being created in her nyc workshop. one of the newer designs are these tablet necklaces that can be customized with your favorite someone's name or a word that just makes you happy.

and for the girl who can never have too many earrings, be sure to click over before thu, aug 31st when janet's earring clearance comes to an end. there are lots to choose from (like these pretty mother of pearl drops) but quantities are limited so don't procrastinate.

made in paradisus

with the made in hawaii festival just around the corner, let's go on a tour of some of the exhibitors who will be showing off their goods at the blaisdell this weekend (fyi - save $1 off admission with the coupon on the website or go old school and pick your coupon up at first hawaiian bank).

first up, the mother & daughter team behind paradisus jewelry and their refined tropical asian designs. the delicate sterling silver pikake necklace is so life-like that you will probably anticipate the scent of a pikake lei to bloom whenever you wrap it around yourself. the collection includes monstera leaves, bamboo, heliconia and more . . . why, it's like a virtual garden awaits you every time you get dressed!

take a peek at the paradisus collection online or stop by nohea gallery for an up close and personal look.

chearrings jewelry

syrus + antonella

oh so pretty. it is impossible not to utter these three little words while visiting chearrings jewelry's gorgeous online boutique. oahu-based designer olga brycht is a serious globe trotter and her old world meets modern style is reflected in pieces like the syrus necklace and antonella earrings (shown above).
