traditional woodwork and jewelry from Hawaii and other Pacific islands.
This cute little store can be easily spotted in the Coconut Grove Market after a causal stroll up Alii drive. The inside of the shop overflows with tropical art from all over the Pacific. At the shop you can find rare and valuable Koa wood jewelry. The deep color and lustrous texture of the wood is warm and inviting. All of the designs incorporate native flora and fauna. The delicate beauty of the Plumeria and the rich imagery of the Honu (sea turtle) are particular favorites.

This powerful symbol is the embodiment of tenacity and endurance for those who struggle against the overwhelming power of the sea. Traditional Hawaiian weapons made with rows of dangerous shark teeth are some of the best selling items.
