My partner and I's favorite place is Hawaii. We love coming here to unwind and relax. For couple of…read moredays, I have been looking for some sort of memento for our trip. I was scouting around so many jewelry stores to find that special piece that will remind me of our stay. I was about to give up seeing everything so overpriced and marked up significantly (I kinda know what a jewelry piece should be priced around since I own a lot of gold pieces). Then I saw this place in the map. Lo and behold, I came and the price was within reason that I can accept. What I love the store is its reasonable prices, handmade design and craftsmanship, and price tags were out in the open. I don't need to keep asking for the price of a piece that I'm looking at. I kinda hate that. I love browsing on my own and if I do have a question, I'll just ask. The lady serving the counter was really nice. She gave me couple of options to decide on, plus told me about their made to order selections, which was pretty dope. If you have more time, definitely look into that option. I also saw craftsman working in the store (his office/work station was on full display) which makes it really interesting and authentic. I like seeing how jewelry is made. Above all, I love the piece I bought which was a small nalu wave ring etched with a hawaiian princess design. Definitely reminded me of Hawaii (and my first time surfing today). Very tasteful design and the ring seems durable. Will definitely come back here if we visit again. Shoutout to Maxi for being the only jewelry store with a sense of price and style!!!!

Artsy jewelry…read more.. Happen upon Mashka and something just captured my attention as I do love making jewelry there was just that artsy vibe about this place. Walking in everything is displayed browsing in mind as some pieces are out there to see and feel so very cute and unique I was just loving it all especially the painting decor on the wall that's draped with jewelry is just something to behold. As I make my way around they do have some cute and very unique decor items as well as there was another shopper the staff was helping and she was looking at their bangles...adorable! These beauties were silver and it was filled with power stones and/or gems as well, the sales lady describes each stone it was and I just love how demure yet expressive it was. Original and hand made is a priceless find and what Mashka brings is unique and a beautiful conversation piece at a price that reflects the value. Thank you!

Honestly, they had a decent selection of charms so it was really hard to pick. But the ladies helped guide me to choose the best one according to what I think is my mom's taste haha. Overall, Lovely shop, amazing ladies, and cute jewelry!! I would highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a good piece! Also, if you were wondering they do make CUSTOM jewelry!! Which is super cool and they have a 30-day repair warranty as well. I will be back to get more pieces! So in love!!

I didn't see anything that looked like something I would actually wear. Perhaps it's just not my style, but most everything looked very tacky. I wandered over to the clothing-maybe a Hawaiian shirt for my son or a cute dress for myself? The dresses were $120. Yikes! Maybe they were handmade? I'm not sure, but I wasn't ready to fork over that kind of cash. The overall vibe of the store is that of an old souvenir shop that probably doesn't see a lot of non-tour bus visitors. I'm not sure if they sell much at all-nobody in my group boarded the bus with any purchases.

The tour bus driver whose tour I was on did actually say that the Coral Factory is nice enough to offer hospitality and their restrooms to travelers & suggested we passengers buy something as a sign of thanks. Since I do appreciate a timely stop for relief, I tried very hard to look for something to buy. The prices are high although there was some pretty jewelry. I was not sure it was actually "coral." Try as I might to open up my wallet, I just did not see anything I urgently had to buy. But I still give the Coral Factory 3 YELP STARS for a friendly bathroom and free cup of coffee. It is in a strip mall with some other interesting stores so maybe go check those out while on potty break.
