Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry: Its origins can be traced back to the Victorian age in England, when Hawaii’s monarchs used to visit the royal courts in England. In 1887 Queen Kapiolani and princess Liliuokalani were present at Queen Victoria’s jubilee and they were gifted precious solid gold bracelets. Their names were etched in with old English inscription, filled with black enamel, on the bracelets. The Princess and the Queen were so enthralled with the gifts, that they had identical gold bracelets created for the other royal members, when they returned to Hawaii. A legacy was born and continues until today. The people in Hawaii have embraced this splendidly engraved jewelry style. The pride and exotic magic of the Hawaiian culture can be associated with the distinctive Hawaiian heirloom jewelry of the island. Liliu, the last queen, contributed an ‘Aloha Oe’ (farewell to thee) inscribed bracelet to Zoe Atkinson, who was the headmistress of Pohukaina Girls School, beside the palace. This bracelet caught the attention of the young women of Hawaii, and it led to the spread of inscription style jewelry ever since. Queen Emma’s silver bracelet engraved with “Aloha ia ka heiheimalie” and Queen Lili’uokalani’s “Aloha” engraved bracelet are among the examples of Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry. Both bracelets are Victorian in style and design, yet deeply Hawaiian in motif, phrase and wordings, to reflect its ancestral heritage.
