I walked in and the owner/gentleman was very welcoming. He explained that all the jewelry on the window was made locally. As I browsing, he told me the different types of glass and beads that went into each piece, he was super informative! Lol he even helped me decide between the two earrings that I wanted. The local jewelry was inexpensive, and he also had some other beautiful pieces in glass displays. You are free to open up the displays and touch the pieces (he encouraged it). I'm very happy with my purchase, and I was delighted at the awesome service :)

From the outside, I was worried it would be an antique shop filled with random junks and knickknacks, I was elated to discover actual "antiques". The ring selection is excellent! We found vintage David Yurman rings and beautiful engagement rings from the 1940's. The prices were also quite reasonable. The staff was quite friendly and accommodating. They greeted us as we walked in, and allowed us to window shop without being bothered. When we were interested in some items, they were happy to take them out of the glass casing and have us try them on. I definitely plan on returning. If you enjoy the idea of having one of a kind pieces, Antiques and Treasures is an excellent shop to stop by. You'll probably end up eating at Cinnamon's too!

This review is for the private champagne tasting that took place here. When I first walked in, I…read morewas in awe of this unique and curious place. Everywhere you look there is something interesting to see. I especially enjoyed the antiques and the vintage portraits. The owners and staff were very nice and helped make the evening memorable. Liane led the champagne tasting and provided key details on the origin of champagne. We got to taste 7 different bottles. We were also served crostini, cheese, salami, chips, and the popular caviar spread. Ended the evening with chocolate covered strawberries and almond chocolates. I would love to come back and purchase some items that caught my eye. While speaking with some friends we saw a 1920's newspaper. I also saw honey in an enclosed glass case. If you are looking for a special antique shop come visit! Location is on nuuanu street, DT. Street parking or there is close garage parking nearby.

It was certainly an educational experience which Naoki Hayashi was the master in both teaching keiki's and adults alike, whether it was etiquette or the skill of his craft. My friend remembered his paintings that adorn the Original Roy's (Hawaii Kai) Restaurant lobby area (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=KRN2w_7B09aVEMvE2UQg0g&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) and immediately brought his daughter to meet him. When she returned with her artwork, I walked over to find a short line of three adults waiting. When the line became a non-keiki situation, he clearly stated that this activity is meant for keiki's and he would do adults later; being totally understanding, I dropped out and figured it wasn't meant to be. As the event wound down, I noticed more and more adults lining up and taking photos. Looking at my watch, I figured he would probably break down his table and pack up. Guess what? He stayed until every last guest got their fish before calling it a day. As we talked while he coached me (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=vYjsW5dncHvLRLFFJTexnA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), I learned how his passion for his craft led him to this career. You certainly have a greater appreciation for his work and patience after you meet him. Hope to stop by this store next trip to the island.

There was some back and forth about timing but we arrived on a day and time and we showed up a little early and waited around, tried texting and calling but didn't get a response, but the staff saw us and welcomed us in, the place is amazing! They have a lot of amazing wood designs made by the owner as well as glass and other items made by other local artisans. We got three pens and some soap.

This cute shop which you would easily miss is in "The Arcade" building and as I approached and glance at some of the items displayed in the window it was unusually different as the art was our local flowers with many items from shirts, candles and stickers to household items. The gentleman in the shop says that it's his friend that designs it all and many of the merchandise are made in Japan and shipped here with exceptions of a few products that are made here in Hawaii I just love how each items are crafted and couldn't resist to support the art and picked up a couple of post cards which was just a buck a card at $5 and a bucket hat that had a cute plumeria embroidered on it :) He couldn't be more happy that I enjoyed it all and put my purchases in a lovely reusable tote and even gave me a free gift that was very generous of him to do so shows the love and kindness of what art and the appreciation to express it was just so meaningful. Thank you!
