Hello everyone! This is my last post. In my last post, I will introduce to order made jewelry. You can order bangle, ring, necklace, zippo. Zippo is not jewelry, but in this shop you can order original Hawaiian zippo. It is very cool and there are  few people who can make it,  so I recommend to people who likes smoke a cigarette. First, decide you want to order. Second, decide the shapes and sizes. If you want to order a bangle or a ring, you can choose widths and shapes. The widths can be choose from 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm,12mm, and the shapes can be choose from flat type, barrel type, cut out type. If you want to order a necklace, you can choose widths, lengths and shapes. The widths can be choose from 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and lengths can be choose 18mm, 25mm, 31mm, 38mm. The shapes are 3 types that I was explained earlier. Also, you can choose sizes and types if you want to order a zippo. The types can be choose matte type or shiny type, and the sizes can be choose small size

Hello! Today, I'll introduce materials in Hawaiian jewelry. Silver Hawaiian jewelry is popular in Japan, but 14k gold is the mainstream in Hawaii. “14” means the gold content. In this case, the gold content is 58%. Silver is a metal that changes color, but gold is hard to discolor so it can maintain its shine. First, this is 14K yellow gold. This is the most popular color. 14K gold includes metals such as silver in addition to gold. From this, it is said that it is stronger than 18k and is not easily scratched. Second, this is the 14K pink gold. Pink gold is made by mixing silver and copper with gold, and the redness changes depending on the copper content. In addition, the color changes depending on the gold content such as 18K and 10K. However, it should be noted that pink gold contains copper and may change color due to sweat or moisture. Third, this is the 14K white gold. This is made by mixing silver and palladium with gold. The appearance is not much

Famous 3 motifs

Hello everyone! Today, I will introduce 3 motifs and jewelry in Hawaiian jewelry. First, this is a fishhook. It is mainly worn as a necklace. The fishhook was important for Hawaiians to catch the fish they needed to live, so it means "fishing up happiness" and "not missing happiness". Depending on the design, most fishhook jewelry is facing left, because it is said that by turning the hook toward the heart side, when it falls into the sea, the hook catches the heart and “helps life”. For this reason, some people wear it as an amulet. Second, this is a Honu (turtle). It is used for any kind of jewelry, but this time I will introduce earrings and ear cuffs. As introduced in the first post, the turtle means "bringing happiness" and "protect yourself". The turtle is said to be a messenger from God in the Polynesian cultural sphere, and it was said that it protected a child who was about to be attacked by a shark. Inside the shell is an ea

The beautiful pink color is not natural and is made by mixing gold with copper. Pink gold has the meaning of "enriching life", "enhancing communication ability and ability to absorb knowledge", and "healing tired heart".
