Our story
A jewelry house rooted in craft
Jewel Box Hawaii was founded on the belief that fine jewelry should be created and cared for with intention. Whether designing a custom piece, restoring a family heirloom, or documenting a collection for estate planning, our approach remains consistent: precision, clarity, and respect for craftsmanship.
We work with a long-term perspective.
Jewelry is not simply worn.
It is carried forward.
The jeweler at the bench
Steve, graduate gemologist
Jewel Box Hawaii is owned by Steve, a graduate gemologist trained in gemology, jewelry manufacturing, design, and appraisal. Every custom piece, restoration, and appraisal is handled by him in Honolulu rather than sent away, which is why a design can be adjusted mid-process and an heirloom never leaves the island.
He is also licensed by the State of Hawaii to buy estate jewelry. In practice that means an inherited collection can be identified, valued, restored, redesigned, or sold in one conversation with one person, and you are never sent elsewhere for the next step.
Everything is made here in Honolulu, and Jewel Box Hawaii exhibited at the 2026 Made in Hawaii Festival.
Our approach
Three things every piece gets
Craftsmanship
Every design and restoration prioritizes structural integrity, refined finishing, and durability meant to last generations.
Heritage
Our work honors the cultural and historical significance of fine jewelry, preserving meaning alongside beauty.
Longevity
From evaluation to restoration, we approach every piece with long-term responsibility and careful documentation.
Aloha Pauahi
The story of Aloha Pauahi
Rooted in Hawaiian tradition, the Aloha Pauahi bracelet reflects strength, shelter, and enduring love. Hand-engraved tamarind leaves honor Princess Bernice Pauahi’s legacy, crafted in sterling silver, gold plated, and solid gold for generations to come.
How we work

While rooted in heritage, Jewel Box Hawaii operates with modern precision. From custom design to estate advisory, each service reflects careful planning, transparent communication, and disciplined craftsmanship.
