I dropped by yesterday and a sales associate named Ua greeted me with a big smile and asked how she…read morecould help me. She ended up showing me every piece that caught my eye (at least a dozen) and quickly assessed my preferences. She then made suggestions and I ended up purchasing a beautiful ring from their Kabana collection. Ua never pushed or pressured me and when I asked her for a few minutes to think about my possible purchase, she smiled and said, "Of course, you need to be sure." When I returned and told her I wanted to make the purchase, she again explained everything about the piece to me to make sure I knew what I was purchasing. I am a kama'aina who will be returning again and again. I also am now going to be a loyal customer of Ua's. I hope the corporate folks read this review and recognize her in some way.

I came here to buy a specific piece. When I was little my mom got me a white gold simple ring with…read morethe plumeria. It was my favorite ring and brought so many wonderful memories....the flower had broken off and I have been trying to find a replacement. So I came here and I actually found a few rings similar to it. I narrowed down a few rings and ended up with this gorgeous wave ring with diamonds and a blue diamond in the middle. It was more than what I was looking to spend, but I couldn't put it down. It's stunning. All their diamonds are mined, each one unique as the next and this is a piece that I will be able to pass down. The staff were quite amazing and didn't push me at all. In fact they made it so comfortable and enjoyable! I had a lot of fun trying on all the different rings and styles. The gentleman that worked there was so patient with me. He let me go check out the rings outside in natural light. So although it was quite a bit more than what I wanted to spend, it is timeless, unique and one of a kind (there wasn't another one there). Thank you all for making this such a great experience. Now I have another reason to come back to this beautiful island.

That being said, their designs are pretty, though also quite pricey. My wife came to repair two items. One ring that was damaged about two years ago , and the second item is my mom's necklace . Was damaged many years ago. My mom bought it 25 years ago, and they honored the repair. We did have to pay for shipping, since it'll take awhile to fix them. Can't do them on site. No worries, reasonable. Also my wife bought a new silver necklace that day. Very nice, but it was extremely difficult to open and close the clasp ! So after one day, she decided to return it. I went back the next day (initially I only saw two white ladies that were working , not the lady (she was Filipino ) that helped us out.

I found a cool little pendant that had Big Island sand in it (I know... totally touristy but it was cute and was by a local), and my mom found some beautiful earrings made by a lady on Maui. The lady manning the store was very personable but not pushy. So, she gets a plus for not pressuring us to buy anything but instead gave us tidbits of info on the local pieces/artists. Stop by and say Hi and take your time to look through everything. You might be surprised. :)

You'd think, they would at least ask for a number to call us back to get business, but no. On the voicemail it leaves a number to text for any questions. So, we tried texting them with a couple of basic questions about a watch that we like, but they just didn't want give us clear information. They just wanted to waste time and tell us basic things about the watch & everything except the brand and basic stuff that we wanted to know about the watch before we paid for it but no, that was too difficult for them. Unbelievable how people are sometimes. There's no way this place will last long in Hawaii being like this. Good luck with that horrible customer service. There's nothing aloha or Mahalo about this spot.

So to commemorate our trip to the Islands and do some way early Christmas shopping, I decided to get one for my wife. Leaving my wife shopping in Crazy Shirts across the way, I sneak over to Dolphin and ask about the charms. The nice sales ladies said I can buy one of the pre-made ones or customize my own, which is a great idea. I chose a bunch of sterling silver pineapples, sea turtles, plumeria, hibiscus, swirly glass beads and before I knew it, I spent a bundle. The bracelet is beautiful and is well worth it though. Completing my surrepticious purchase, I sneak back into Crazy Shirts with no one the wiser. Heh heh. (This review has been sitting in my bucket for the last 5 months after coming back from Hawaii. I had to wait until Christmas to post this review, so as not to let the cat out of the bag.)

My moms favorite shop in Hawai'i is Na Hoku and she would always buy something to remember our trip. So entering my mom's favorite jewelry store was kind of tough for me, but I felt so welcomed by Jo and Alexandra... I wanted to buy something that had meaning and paid honor to my mom... Jo found the perfect piece... It's a charm in the shape of a Maile leaf... The Maile leaf represents Aloha (love) Ho'ohanohano (Honor) and Mahalo (respect) It's a beautiful charm with a Mother of Pearl inlay and Koa wood ( Koa wood represents strength and resilience) It was like this charm was hand made for me... On such a difficult and trying time in my life, it's like my mom was telling them to pick this for me... They didn't push me to buy anything, but they made the void of missing my mom just a little more tolerable... by finding this perfect charm! Much aloha Jo and Alexandra...I can't wait to visit you again! Mahalo!!!

After we got back to the room I received an email from Tua saying she'd found the ring in another store and I could stop by the next day and try it on. I did so and was thrilled that it fit and was also marked down! My husband bought it for me as well.
