    Custom gold filled wave ring
    Rebecca B.

    Do NOT listen to Martha L, she doesn't know what's up!!! What a wonderful shop and owner/jewelry designer! My friends and I wandered in here and were so delighted with the service and kindness of Stephanie! If you want a special and unique souvenir, I highly recommend! All three of us traveling together ordered custom pieces and she had them ready in a few days. Absolute must! My friend and I got matching wave rings for our pinkies

    Permanent bracelet

    We saw this shop online & texted Stephanie to see if she could squeeze us in on a last minutes notice. She kindly offered to come in early so she could get us in before my Aunt's flight left. This was my sixth piece of permanent jewelry yet she had options I haven't seen anywhere else. We all got matching bracelets with the pearl design. I ended up buying a pearl necklace as well. The shop is filled with unique designs that are all beautifully made. Stephanie was incredibly nice & very patient with our millions of questions, & did not make me feel pressured to buy anything which made choosing my pieces a lot easier! Highly recommend coming here!

    I've been a loyal admirer and collector of jewelry made by the brilliant jewelry maker of Kauai Handmade since 2019. My first piece ever was this freshwater pearl necklace in leather -- I got at Made in Hawaii 2019. I was floored by its mix of simple elegance yet bold reverence. The care and energy woven into each piece of jewelry she makes is felt and evident. The quality of each jewelry is strong and long lasting too. I was eager for another piece after that first necklace, eventually I was able to get the silver ring here that I wore nearly everyday -- pictured with the earrings I also ordered later, to match. I love Tahitian pearls and I love the style she did for the ring and earrings. I'm just a humble freelancer like many others, I make just enough to make ends meet. I can't splurge on a lot. So for me, investing in these beautiful jewelries over time is a gift to myself and an honor for me to also support a local small business. I have a few other pieces by her not pictured here. Finally, this gold ring with tahitian pearl and diamonds is the most extravagant gift I've ever gotten / bought for myself. I worked extra hard for this one and was so elated to have it for my birthday. These jewelry are not insanely expensive, but priced at a respectable rate that makes sense to me and would require some time to save and budget, which is fine. I believe artists should not price low because artisans put so much time and work into their craft. The prices at this shop honor the jewelry maker's time, energy and labor, just like any other artists and services. The point of my long storytelling is that jewelry is important not just for aesthetics. For me, I wear these pieces daily, for spiritual protection, for connection to the ocean, for grounding and a strong sense of self, for extra strength when out in the world, for confidence on days that are tough. So thank you to Kauai Handmade for being part of my life over the years, for creating and providing such beautiful and potent jewelry for us locals and the world.

    Two rings that I bought!

    Stephanie has beautiful jewelry and I loved supporting her local business. I would definitely recommend stopping by! Mahalo (:

    Great experience. Was so nice and amazing. Explained every step. Will definitely be going again

    Loving my ROSE GOLD Wave ring and cuff!!!

    For beautiful jewels and the most personable service, this is the spot! Owner, Stephanie hand makes all her pieces and it's in great detail and superb quality! Easily accessible, as it's not far from the Lihue airport and located in the cutest shopping plaza ... The Coconut Marketplace! Definitely worth the trip! She has the friendliest pup (PANDA) in store too!

    Some of the best things in life are surprises. Honestly, finding Kauai Handmade was a complete accident, but within moments we knew we were in a sacred space with Stephanie! Her space is intimate, but we found that she was really great at managing her clientele, allowing only a max # of people to shop at one time. Located in the center of the Coconut Marketplace, we came to the area for lunch and took a stroll around afterwards while our kiddos grabbed some shave ice. Her shop caught my eye. Modern décor and from the outside it wasn't clear that it was primarily a jewelry shop, as there were quite a few other great items to look at inside the store! Beautiful racks of clothes, a few curated swim suits, adorable Turkish cotton beach towels, and more. But, even if you came in for the other things, you stay for the jewelry. OHHhhhhh, her jewelry!! Everything is hand made by Stephanie herself. Many of the shells, glass, and stones she uses are collected by her as well! The stories behind every item are inspiring and make you feel like each piece is already an heirloom. My husband and I were spinning around the shop, trying on necklaces, bracelets and rings. Asking about the history of each piece, and drinking in the aloha spirit from Stephanie. She is truly an amazing artist who takes pride in her craft. Every single item is a wonderful expression of her ability and creativity. We left purchasing a men's Tahitian Pearl necklace for my husband, and a beautiful light aqua sea glass ring for myself. I have already told so many of my friends about her jewelry, and best part is that she ships her products too! Check out her online site ;) kauaihandmadejewelry.com We can't wait to get a few more items soon, and we will definitely stop in the next time we are in town. Thank you Stephanie for sharing your magic with us!

    Pink Tahitian Pearl Ring
    Stephanie S.

    I stumbled across this gem of a shop and I feel so lucky that I did! The owner Stephanie makes all the jewelry herself and she is sooo incredibly talented. I love that she took time with me and let me try on multiple pieces and made thoughtful recommendations of things I might like. I adore the ring I found here!! This place is a must to stop by at if you're looking to purchase something beautiful and meaningful while on the island.

    South Sea pearl earrings from @kauaihandmade
    Nada W.

    My first south sea pearl earrings!! Absolutely in love. If you want to have it but don't want to break the bank go and visit this unique jewelry boutique in Kappa. They specialize in Tahitian Pearls, South Sea Pearls, High Quality Freshwater Pearls, Kauai Kahelelani Shells, and Sunrise Shells. They can custom order anything. Avoid middle man and get your money worth. The owner is sooo talented I also bought custom made " rubber " bracelet for my sporty contemporary outfits! From classy to elegant casual and futuristic:)

    Kauai Handmade just so happened to be at the shopping center near our hotel and I'm so happy it was! We met Stephanie and Freddy on evening while shopping around and they are not only the sweetest people, but the jewelry is just beautiful and skillfully crafted! You can tell that this is a passion for Stephanie and it just shows in the craftsmanship of her jewelry! I've purchased 2 necklaces and will use them for any of my pearl needs!

    My husband rented a performance board from Backdoor and he was helped by Kahelei , she was…read morewonderful! She even gave us local recommendations for coffee and breakfast and her approach was outgoing and personable.

    Do not come here for surfboard rentals. Here are three reasons why:…read more 1. **Higher Prices**: This is not the cheapest place to rent surfboards. My family and I initially wanted to rent from a different shop, but they close early in the afternoon. So, we ended up at Backdoor Surf instead. I recommend going to Hanalei Surfboard Rentals instead; it's cheaper, and they offer both half-day and full-day options. You can check them out at [Hanalei Surfboard Rentals](https://hanaleisurfboardrentals.com/). I'm not affiliated with them; I just had a really good experience, and they loaded the boards onto our car quickly. 2. **Long Wait Times and Attitude**: At Backdoor Surf, they spend a long time inspecting the boards and handling paperwork, but that's not the worst part. One of the store associates, David, was quite rude while loading the boards onto our car. My mother asked me to watch him so I could learn how to put the boards back on the car rack when we returned. I told her I already knew how to do it, and David interjected, "Then why don't you do it?" He had a poor attitude while loading the boards, despite us paying over $80 for two surfboards and one paddleboard. Another associate, Kira, told us that David would load the boards and he still gave us an attitude, and it took him about 20-30 minutes to do it. 3. **Poor Customer Service**: Kira started rambling about her personal problems during our visit, while David provided terrible service and only acted friendly when we returned the boards. **Summary**: Choose another rental place if you prefer to be treated professionally by those you are paying and if you value timely service.

    This is the place you need to get your Kauai souvenirs from. I'll just cut to the chase, because…read morethis is it. My reckoning as follows. Similar to Kauai, I live in a state that banks big on tourism. Similar to Kauai, New Mexico is a place that doesn't sell out (define that as you may) and has a lot of cultural soul, historic pride and sly personality, as opposed to our neighboring southwestern states. Thus, the Locals know that our desert island is simply authentic. While the average tourist brings home a suitcase of dreamcatchers (most likely made in China) and moccasins (made in Minnesota), the best goods are produced by local artists. While I won't say By The Sea is a purveyor of strictly local finds, if you spend some time digging, you'll dig what you find around here. Shirts and hats are simply cooler than anything I'd seen anywhere else. I can't define cool, it just is, you'll know it when you see it. High quality products produced in America. Funny jabs and smart, proud merch. Just go. My wife got a baseball cap that looks straight outta the 80's, and I'm not ashamed to note that I remember that decade.
