Kekumuʻaoa Designs has some of the most beautiful Native Hawaiian jewelry I've ever seen. I have multiple of his pieces for myself, and I've bought pieces as gifts for others too. The artist, Isaiah, is inspired by the ʻāina and kai (land and sea), as well as his Native Hawaiian and Japanese heritage. He really honors the raw materials he uses (wood, shells, bones) in his designs. He does lots of earrings, but also does hair sticks, hook necklaces, and more. He does craft fairs where he sells his jewelry, but he also posts his current items on his Instagram (@kekumuaoadesigns). Isaiah does commissions too for jewelry, but his Insta has pics of commissions for combs, mirrors, lei, and urns. He is super knowledgeable about native plants (and plants in general) as he is an ethnobotany professor too. And he's just hilarious as a person! read more
