A wonderful and valuable experience for parents and children to share.
Choose Your Design & Customization
In Hawaiian jewelry, each element holds a special meaning.
・Monstera: Prosperity and good fortune

・Fern leaves: New beginnings
Choose a motif that aligns with your own feelings and wishes to create a truly one-of-a-kind design.

A Message from Our Craftsmen
ALOHA!
We are the engravers and craftsmen who work daily in the Local Brand workshop.
There is a single shared belief among our workshop staff: we love Hawaiian jewelry from the bottom of our hearts.
Each of us joined the company with a strong passion for Hawaiian jewelry and Local Brand products. We continuously strive to hone our skills, dedicating ourselves to our work day in and day out.
And now, we have opened our workshop so that our customers can discover the true beauty of Hawaiian jewelry. While very few Hawaiian jewelry brands in Japan have their own in-house workshops, we craftsmen will personally guide you through the process.
Using the highly intricate method of hand-engraving, you will create your own piece of jewelry. We sincerely hope that you will all experience the profound depth of Hawaiian jewelry.
