ENGAGEMENT RINGS & CUSTOM JEWELRY

HOW IT WORKS

WHERE WHITE GLOVE SERVICE MEETS UNBEATABLE PRICES

Welcome to KCJ. Gone are the days of flying to Madison Avenue in NYC to find world class handcrafted jewelry. Because of our more than 30 years in the jewelry industry, we've forged partnerships with the best jewelers in the world to bring Kauai unparalleled quality and craftsmanship.
Best yet - since we operate by appointment only - we run our operation lean so that our savings can get passed onto you. We guarantee you won't find a better price for the quality when working with us... anywhere.

ENGAGEMENT RINGS

You can't pop the question without a jaw dropping stone to seal the deal. Select one of our beautiful diamond engagement rings or have us custom make a one-of-a-kind ring just for you - our jewelers can do it all.

CUSTOM JEWELRY

If you’ve ever dreamed of creating a one-of-a-kind jewelry piece, our creative designers and master jewelers can help you bring your idea to life.

JEWELRY REPAIR

From engagement rings, to bracelets, to necklaces, and every piece in between, our master jewelers can bring your fine jewelry back to life and looking like the first day you received them!

HAWAIIAN HEIRLOOM

Our hand-carved Hawaiian bracelets would make the perfect gift for a loved one or friend. Unlike most bangles, each Bangle from KCJ is truly handcrafted and hand carved, so any design you want is possible.

SOME MASTERPIECES WE'VE FINISHED RECENTLY

FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS

Our Tutu grew up on Kauai and she has pictures from more than a hundred years ago of the way things used to be. The beautiful sunsets, the architecture, the storms, the adventures, but the thing she talks about the most: people. Relationships. Connections. We believe relationships are the most important thing on Kauai and at KCJ we're honored to use jewelry to bring together the stories and lives of those both from Kauai and those who have made Kauai their home.

SCROLL THROUGH SOME RECENT MASTERPIECES

RANDY & LORELLA'S 30th ANNIVERSARY RING

When Randy said, "I want the absolute best I can get for her, because nothing could compare to what she means to me," we knew we had to go the extra-mile and hand pick 3 natural diamonds that are objectively perfect. He let Lorella design the ring with us, while he took care of the money part. She is absolutely ecstatic about it. Other jewelers have even called this ring a true 'feat' and 'masterpiece'.

NEVA & BILL'S ANNIVERSARY PENDANT

The 6 diamonds represent the amazing 60 year anniversary and the horseshoe design = harkens back to Neva's Kauai Pony "Joe" from when she grew up in Mana. Certainly nothing like it out there, and she never takes this pendant off. What an honor to work on this for them.

BEN & NATALIE'S SEMI ETERNITY BAND

Ben wanted 20 diamonds - one for each year of marriage and though technically the emerald is the 20 year stone, Natalie opted for an Emerald cut diamonds instead because... she likes diamonds :) If you see her around make sure to compliment her on it!

PETER & LINDA'S 50 YEAR ENGAGEMENT RING

Though 50 years ago he proposed to Linda with a quarter dispenser machine ring (which she loves by the way) Peter wanted to really show his love with a special Sapphire Anniversary ring for Linda. We worked together so he could surprise her with it at the Beach House in Poipu and she never saw it coming :) Congrats you guys.

What if she doesn't like it!?

How To Get The Design Right

You're not the only person to worry that your engagement ring, or any custom jewelry piece you create, won't be exactly what the other person would want.


After not only helping thousands of people to choose jewelry for their loved ones over the years, but also having created jewelry for our own loved ones here is the process we recommend so you can be sure that you're giving the perfect mixture of uniqueness and your recipients personal style


“if you give them a ring or pendant or bracelet or bangle that doesn't match what they already like to wear... it'll end up sitting in a jewelry box most of the time - and that's the last thing you want.”


1. Let's Get Look Book


Whoever will be getting your jewelry piece, do they already wear jewelry? More often than not, they do! If that's the case, we want to start by getting an idea of what they already have. Especially when it comes to pieces that they wear on a daily basis, we want the new piece to fit in perfectly with everything else. Otherwise, if you give them a ring or pendant or bracelet or bangle that doesn't match what they already like to wear... it'll end up sitting in a jewelry box most of the time - and that's the last thing you want.


Take pictures or gather photos from social media of your recipient with their current pieces. we'll use those as a starting point when you come to our appointment to discover what styles would compliment those pieces the best. Normally we're looking for basics stylistic choices like metal color, thick or thin, modern - classic - or antique, and other factors that help us narrow down the design choices for your custom piece.


2. Get a Second Opinion


Which of her/ his friend's or family would know what style they would like? Especially if you're a guy who has never purchased any fine jewelry before and you're looking for an engagement ring it can be very intimidating to make a decision based on your limited amount of jewelry design knowledge.


That's why getting an opinion from your recipient's friend or family member could be a huge help. They might have a style or piece that they've mentioned before to their best friend or close family member. Obviously, make sure it's someone who can keep a secret well.


3. Get an Expert's Opinion


When it comes to any area of life that you don't know much about - whether hunting or surfing or dive spots or even working out, if theres an expert out there who has done what you're trying to do before, asking them questions can accelerate your learning very quickly.


With jewelry, that's where our team can help you. With a lifetime of experience in the jewelry industry and as certified credentialed consultants for other jewelers, we are able to help you navigate some of the most basic design pitfalls you can fall into.


How to get the most stone for your money or which stones work best with which settings or which styles are currently popular and how to stay away from looking like your mom's engagement ring... these are all topics that an expert can walk you through in just a few minutes and save you 60+ hours of online research trying to become an expert for yourself.


Trust us, we've been there before - from both sides - so we'll help you get your piece faster and at a better cost and with more certainty that you made the right choice than you could have otherwise
