Honoring Hawaii's revered matriarchal traditions, Meleana Estes and Noël Pietsch Shaw's jewelry line is a chic ode to celebrating the islands' culture. honolulu hawaiilife jewelrydesign
flagship boutique in Waikiki and at monthly trunk shows in Honolulu, includes nine styles of 14-karat yellow or rose gold bracelets in varying sizes priced from $3,200 to $5,900.
In addition to their vintage-inspired aesthetic, the HIE bracelets stand out because of their seductively sentimental qualities. Almost every piece is engravable—inside and out.“People know what to put on the front,” says Shaw. “It could be a name, a place, a saying in Hawaiian or English, it all depends on what you’ve gone through in life. But they have to get back to me about what to put on the inside. If I make a bracelet for my daughters, that’s a message they’ll have from mom forever.
And forever is the point. Built without clasps or hinges, the bangles are designed to be slipped over a clenched fist and to remain there as a permanent ode to all of life’s greatest hits . That’s one reason Estes and Shaw chose to stick with traditional 14-karat gold, which is harder and therefore less susceptible to damage than higher-karat offerings.“Women in Hawaii are really active,” says Estes. “We’re jumping in the ocean all the time, going for a hike, making a lei in our garden.
“They’re such a part of you, such a precious thing, and many women feel safer with them on their bodies,” Estes adds. “You have many pairs of earrings, but you only have one Hawaiian bracelet. They’re meant to wear with time, to collect your stories and your essence.”
