With a lot of turmoil going on with my life and I've been getting into crystal healing lately, I…read morebought crystals from another store and really liked the healing benefits it gives me. That crystal store I went to had bracelets but it was already premade which I felt in my soul that it wasn't for me. Im looking for something that caters to my energy so I can wear a bracelet that gives me that sense of relief when I go about my everyday life. I happen to stumble upon Honulea Hawaii on Yelp and was reading their reviews and also on their website. When entering their website, it will be in Japanese so select the English translation. There is also a 5% off for your first purchase when you sign up for their email newsletter so take advantage of that while its still there because I forgot to do that since I was too excited and focused to get my bracelet haha. In their options, there are 4 types of bracelets you can choose from Hoō la breath, Mauli Ola Breath, Lono breath, and Premium Lono Breath (Prices are listed on their website). Just giving you a heads up, Hoō la breath is the only bracelet that is premade and can't be customized according to the website you can only choose from 5 different premade options. But I highly recommend to get the Mauli Ola Breath or the others since you're able to customize them according to your personal energy and situation. They go by appointment only so I recommend calling in rather than messaging because I tried to message them on their Linechat, I didnt get a response till 3 weeks later after my appointment haha. You can also check out their Instagram @honuleahawaii to see their other creations and family life. Appointment day comes, I go to the location and the door will be locked so call their number when you arrive. The owner (Mia) of the shop is located in the same room with her husband (Michael)'s violin store and they share the same store number so Michael will also take your phone calls. I was greeted warmly by Michael and he showed me where Mia is located in the store. Its a small closet like room with one small display of her creations and custom made bracelets, necklaces, pendants, and keychains that customers ordered. With using my 6th sense I could feel Mia's energy so bright and warm when entering the room, I can feel my soul is being hugged from her warmness. We sat down and did the 15 minutes counseling so she can feel out my energy and situation. When the session was done, I chose the Mauli Ola Breath bracelet option, the price maybe hefty but when you think about it, you are investing for your body and soul. For my bracelet she chose a Clear quartz, Labradorite, Amethyst, and Mother of pearl (search up their healing benefits) also added a cute turtle charm to complete the look. When I wore my bracelet, it gave me that sense of comfort and relief that I was looking for but not only has my mood swings changed but it also helped protect me from people who tried to take advantage of my kindness or give me emotional harm, and gave me life lessons that I need. Nowadays, if I leave my bracelet at home, it just feels like my energy will be thrown off for the whole day and feels weird to not be wearing it wherever I go. Thank you so much Mia for my customized Mauli Ola Breath bracelet! Been wearing it everyday for 9 months straight and been seeing different positive changes in my life! 5/5 recommend everyone to get one! Tip: Bracelet power stone care, leave it out in the sun for at least an hour or during the full moon every once a month to recharge its energy.

On a Tuesday I was hoping to purchase some stones but the store closer to home was closed... so my…read moreYelp search led me here. The reviews sounded great so I knew I couldn't go wrong. Finding the building was fine with the map directions. The parking seems to be assigned so the attendant helped direct me to a spot when I told him where I was headed. Within the building it was a bit confusing knowing if I was at the right spot only because there isn't any signage outside of the shop door. So basically, the shop you'll enter is a violin shop but you're in the right place! I called ahead to make an appointment so they were expecting me. I got a nice welcoming vibe right off the bat and was excited to see what would be created for me and my lifestyle needs. I have never purchased a bracelet before, so this was my first experience, period. I told her what was going on and why I was "searching". She definitely pinpontied what I needed to focus on and helped create a bracelet that would help keep me focused. Not only is it created for my particular needs, but it's very aesthetically pleasing! It can pretty much go with anything I wear and doesn't get in the way at all. I was surprised at the cost, but that's only because I don't normally purchase stones/beads. The quality is great and it is well worth the purchase! I feel like its been helping me focus and protecting me from being affected by outside energy. I'm definitely prepared for my next purchase and I won't have to be worried about the cost... it's really reasonable.

We stopped by several times during our stay, and every employee we interacted with was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Keisha. She took the time to help me find all the stones I was looking for and was extremely knowledgeable about their properties and meanings. I never felt rushed, and she made the shopping experience so enjoyable. The pricing was also surprisingly great compared to what I see back home, which made it even harder to leave without picking up a few treasures. Between the wonderful selection, reasonable prices, and exceptional customer service, this shop became one of my favorite discoveries of the trip. We will definitely make this a must-visit stop every time we come back!

My partner selected two items and I was having a hard time picking so definitely want to go back when I have more time. Located in South Shore Market at Ward Village, parking is easy.

Shopping in Honolulu's Chinatown…read more.. My friend, Jules, and I were strolling around Chinatown, when we took a detour and stopped inside of a shop called A1 Trading. Even though the door was open, I could feel some air conditioning! (Even though it's "winter", February is still warm in Hawaii at noontime)! The wall to the left was filled with all kinds of bracelets, lucky jade charms and keyrings! I got some good luck (red with a Chinese coin) bracelets that were 4 for $10 - for when I go to Las Vegas with my mom and sister. I also found a cute Hello Kitty key chain that I can give as a nice gift some day! Jules was looking at the jade bangles. They were different prices according to quality. They were offering her a discount on something that fit. However, she wanted a different bracelet that was larger and had a darker color. Maybe she will ho back after she thinks about it more... Anyway, the service was friendly and helpful. The shop had some nice items that I would get later. Now I know where to shop! Note: we went on a Sunday when metered street parking is free!

I wish I don't have to write a bad review but I was sold counterfeit products and was denied the…read moreability to return it because "I paid with a credit card and not cash." Even if I could prove that the product is counterfeit, they would not give a refund and would only allow an exchange. I had to go through a stressful exchange with my credit card company of having to dispute a credit card purchase for the first time. This place is generally great if you are a jewelry maker. They have a great selection of crystal beads and genuine freshwater pearls. However, the guy tried to convince me a $600 string of greyish-bluish pearls are genuine "Tahitian pearls" and even the tag says "Sourh Sea Pearls." I made the mistake of not rubbing the pearls before I purchased. Generally, genuine pearls have a slightly gritty feel, and never completely smooth, when rubbed together or when rubbed against your teeth. So when I rubbed it after I purchased, I walked back to the store about 10 minutes later asking for authentication for the pearls and was told there was none. The guy has a language barrier so he took me to the lady next door who also tried to convince me the pearls are genuine even when I told her the pearls are rubbing smoothly. Also -- even if this purchase wasn't such a huge flop, I've been to this store a couple times before I purchased anything. The guy was on his phone the whole time which made a couple of sounds that iPhones make when you take a photo or take a screenshot, so I felt suspicious that he was taking photos of me maybe because he suspected that I'd steal. He was generally disinterested in having to service me.

I met Misha at The Made In Hawaii festival. It was life changing…read more Prior I had learned about her from a sales associate at "Fighting Eel" who shared that Misha dives for her own shells. . . So bad ass! I can't remember the year but shell/pearl bangles were all the rage and Misha's were perfectly hammered, shiny and built to last. While other cheaper bangles I've bought over the years have changed shape, Misha's bangles are SOLID and as beautiful as the day I bought them. I have acquired a collection of Misha's jewelry and get more compliments on her designs then all my other jewelry combined. I am particularly obsessed with her statement earrings but what I like best about Misha is her line is constantly evolving. New earring designs (love the studs), rings, necklaces, and collaborations with other local businesses. Today was a first for me visiting her newish downtown location. Her studio is across the street from Pig and The Lady so be sure to gather your girlfriends and plan a shopping and lunch date. Misha's showroom hours are 12-3 Wednesday-Friday but I recommend you also follow her on Instagram to find out about other special events (@mishahawaii). When I arrived at the address, I used the intercom system to scroll through the list of names, which connected me to Misha so she could buzz me up. Misha's space was gorgeous with tons of natural light and BEAUTIFUL one of a kind creations at a range of price points (not pictured her luxe Tahitian pearl line). As I mentioned above, I have an amazing collection of her jewelry already (mostly earrings) so I was looking for another statement piece, a necklace. And I found it! The Moana Tassel Tahitian Pearl Necklace. The 28″ chain is 14kt gold filled with tourmaline (rainbow) rosary gemstones. BUT... I liked the pearl on another version of this necklace better and I was torn between the two options... Misha offered to change the pearl on the necklace on the spot, while I sipped a glass of delicious rosé. I was able to hand select another GORGEOUS pearl and walk out of her Holiday Ship and Shop event with a customized necklace I truly LOVED. . . And two pairs of earrings. I will wholeheartedly continue to support Misha's small business because her creations are truly top of the line and she treats her customers like family. Mahalo Misha!
