Over the years I've enjoyed the variety of plants she has available with earthy ceramic pots, natural fragrance items, home decor, crystals and handmade jewelry. Every time I wear earrings she's made I get the best compliments. Each set is one of a kind and unique. The Ginger13 oasis is located in Marks Garage on Pauahi Street. I recommend parking in the open lot off Nuuanu and Beretania or the underground municipal parking lot just past Nuuanu on Beretania. It's safe and close to the variety of local shops in the area.

A graphic circulating on Instagram this holiday season really stuck with me. It highlighted how…read morepowerful shopping small can be. If each person spent $ at a small business instead of a big online retailer, imagine how much money would be reinvested into our local economy. I took that message to heart. I've been frequenting Ginger13 for years, and supporting Cindy is always a joy. She creates truly one of a kind pieces, and her aloha spirit shines through in everything she does. You don't just shop here. You feel welcomed and inspired. I spent nearly two hours in the store just days before Christmas, and narrowing down my choices was nearly impossible. Every corner is filled with beautiful, thoughtfully curated items, all at incredibly reasonable prices. On top of that, Cindy offers exceptional customer service. If anything ever happens to your unique piece, you are in the best hands. Make a day of it and stop by Mille Fête as well to support another amazing local woman entrepreneur who is absolutely crushing it. Treat yourself to stunning home goods and jewelry at Ginger13, then reward yourself with something sweet from this phenomenal bakery. Thank you, Cindy and Mindy. Wishing you a prosperous and abundant Year of the Tiger.

The stamping on the rings are soooo beautiful and they offer permanent jewelry services as well. The cashier was friendly and super helpful when I was deciding what to get.

The workers at the jewelry bar have always created such beautiful pieces that complement the other jewelry I own from this shop. It's so much fun to see your jewelry being designed and made right in front of you. Their pre-made pieces are also incredible and Kristi has such a unique vision! If you follow their Instagram, you can see the behind-the-scenes of how much work goes into each piece of jewelry that's made. I also love that they carry other local brands here too! The clothing, bikinis, hats, bags, and other accessories are all incredible and I wish I had enough money to buy every single thing here....but alas, I'll stick to just buying one item per paycheck.

I've followed Around The Pearl since their shop at the Ohana Hale Marketplace which is sadly now is gone and replaced by a condominium so I'm happy to hear many of the tenants has found home all around town Around the Pearl is here in Ala Moana Center. You can find them at Target Wing on the Lower Level near Tiger Sugar though is very easily found as they have a projector beaming their logo on their front door. It's easy to see why I'd visit them with the load of various Tahitian Pearls in ever form of jewelry for both men and women but the owner who is from Tahiti brings over various beautiful pearls and will sell them to you in various grades as well. The imperfections are perfectly beautiful and so are many other lovely shades that they do come in and he also will drill holes in them for you as well. Whatever size you want the holes to be drilled and all at great deal, I make all my bangles with his pearls only as I know they are genuine and will describe any pearls you may have questions about. Nothing like authentic which is the best deal which he does offer great prices along with various sizes and colors as well. Thank you!

Tahitian pearls at Ohana Hale Marketplace (OHM) in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. When I found out that I won a $50 gift card (via Instagram) to Around The Pearl, I was so happy! Thank you, OHM! You're my favorite shopping center because of the free parking, cool air conditioning, clean environment, and fantastic variety of shopping options and foodie adventures! I knew exactly where this vendor - Around The Pearl - was located because I have been browsing their merchandise almost everytime I visited OHM. In my head, I thought that one day... I would own some Tahitian Pearls... and the day finally arrived! Luckily, one of my friends tagged me on an Instagram Contest, sponsored by OHM, and I entered. That's really nice of the management of OHM to help small businesses advertise their vendors and help them bring in customers! OHM contacted me and gave my name and number to Around The Pearl. After looking at the Instagram photos online, I had a better idea of what I wanted to get. When I got to Around The Pearl, the owner, Steeve, was very helpful and knowledgeable. He said that he and his wife, Nadine (great name), are from Tahiti. They bring the pearls in directly from Tahiti and have been in business for over 20 years. They supply pearls to local retailers... so... get your pearls here! The prices are better and are of the same high quality! I told Steeve that I didn't want a necklace, ring, or bracelet because I'm kinda clumsy. Of course, he patiently showed me all of the earrings. At first, I wanted lever back style so that I won't lose the earrings. Then, I saw the heart shaped hoops and that was it. They're different and won't fall off the ears! LOL! Perfect! So - come to Around The Pearl for that special gift - or treat yourself to one of nature's special ocean treasures!

Cute "Oishikatsu" store…read more Overtime, they started getting newer products relatable to anime and kawaii keychains. It is a little on the pricier side, but if you like to display or customize your favorite characters they have products for that. Little accessories like keychains, photo, card frames and bags. There are also claw machines inside. There was time they had Attack on Titan plushies in those claw machines and I spent about $15 on it. *sigh* The last time I was there, I believe they are a CARD ONLY establishment. Anyway, if you're passing by, they are on the third floor near Buffalo Wild Wings and Target. Occasionally, they do host artist pop-ups as well. Check their social media for details.

I haven't taken it off since, and even though I am far from dainty and it has been banged around quite a bit, it is still intact, unmarred, and beautiful. I'd definitely return there again!
