Hawaiian
jewelry has been a part of Hawaiian culture and tradition
for over 100 years. What we today accept as being purely Hawaiian
in style and design has its roots in 19th century European
culture. Hawaii's King Kalakaua, while on a diplomatic mission
to England in 1880, received a gold bracelet from Queen Victoria
for the Hawaiian Princess Liliuokalani.
Queen
Lydia Liliuokalani
(September
2, 1838 - November 11, 1917)
The bracelet was solid gold with the princess' name engraved
and enameled. Hawaii's jewelers were so impressed with the
bracelet that they created new designs and the people of Hawaii
adopted this style of jewelry as their own. With the interchange
of cultures the rest of the United States as well as other
nations have grown to admire, love and prize Hawaiian jewelry.
