Turtle (Honu)
The Hawaiian sea turtles symbolize long life and good luck. Roaming slowly along the shorelines of the Hawaiian islands are the peaceful sea turtles. Many Hawaiian sea turtles live to be over 150 years old, symbolizing longevity. Known as Honu in Hawaiian, the green sea turtles were believed to be guides for the first voyagers to Hawaii.
Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry (Lako Ho'onani Ho'oilina)
The history of Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry dates back over 100 years ago when Hawaii's Queen Kapi'olani and Princess Lili'uokalani attended Queen Victoria's Jubilee in England. At the jubilee, Queen Victoria presented two precious bracelets with their names engraved in Old English Lettering and enameled in black. The Hawaiian royalty adopted the English's black enameled jewelry and added their own Hawaiian inspired designs of maile leaves and plumeria flower.
Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry continues to serve as an enduring symbol of Hawaiian royalty. Today, Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry is given to celebrate milestones: birthdays, graduations, weddings and anniversaries.
