Elements Jewelry & Crafts

I stumbled upon this beautiful jewelry and crafts store while touring the little downtown area of Hawi!!! The window display is what grabbed my attention!
In this little shop I found some of the most creative unique beautiful jewelry pieces for men and women that I’ve seen in all of Hawaii. They had some amazing Koa wood jewelry, but I bought enough of that in Oahu. I ended up going with jade jewelry. I bought jade stud earringthat were a truly outstanding dark shade of green and I also bought a donut jade necklace… Just stunning not too fancy very zen and hippy like! Let’s just say when I was in Hawaii I was super chill in all sense of the word!
I don’t recall the young ladies name that was working but she gave my friend and I excellent directions see a beautiful lookout of the area just north of the area.
Thank you for all your help picking out my jade pieces!

Beautiful pieces of Hawaiian made jewelry and art! Much better souvenirs to take home.

Nice, quality artwork and jewelry. Very nice professional photos of the local flora and fauna, sea, sea creatures, etc. Beautiful shawls from Sri Lanka. Worth the visit. Lady was very nice and with good taste.

This is a lovely little store with a lot of high quality, locally made products. Reasonably priced and the owner is very friendly. Definitely worth seeking out!

Stunning array of Made in Hawaii products. If you are looking for some beautiful memorabilia to remember your trip you should come here. Be sure to make your wish list!

This is the best shop on the Island and a heartbeat of Hawi — the best little town on the Big Island. Elements sells the finest art, jewelry, and gifts made here in Hawaii. Forget the tourist crap. This is where the real Art and gifts are. Every year, we shop at Elements for special friends, family, and our house /​pet sitter. Oh, and myself. :) This year, I found a Labrodite (sp?), gold, and grey-​blue pearl necklace… Its been 3 weeks and I am still wearing it every day. A new signature staple. Thank you!

We visited this store while on a drive around the island. Hawi is a charming little
town with a number of interesting shops. I really liked Elements. I purchased several
pieces of jewelry there for my daughters. I was very happy with my purchases, secure
in my feeling that I had found unique pieces made by local designers. Imagine my
surprise when I went to the Kona street market — 3^rd sunday of every month and found
the designers of the items I had purchased offering their wares for half the price. I
do not fault the owners of Elements. It is, however, very upsetting to have spent
several hundred dollars more for the exact same items. I asked one of the designers
about this and she merely said that’s the way it is for the designers as the market
only happens once a month. In most instances most customers would never know
but since we were flying home that day we spent the day in Kona thinking the
day long market would be a fun experience for our last day. Well, it was informative
to say the least. We are going back this March and will definitely go back to Elements,
we aren’t there during the market day in Kona. Elements has a wonderful selection
of items — too bad some of their designers sabotage the experience by selling their
ware for ½ price elsewhere.

Wonderful store, great selection of really different jewelry, pottery, fabrics, paintings. If you can’t find something for everyone here, you just haven’t been paying attention. I got a great pair of abalone earrings and this delightful little Hawaiian hawk pitcher, and I’m still thinking about the bird pottery vessel I unwisely left behind. My next trip to the Big Island, I’ll be back.

Annual visit to the Big Island includes mandatory buying spree at Elements. MUST have lava glass, MUST have purses, MUST have jewelry.
Artist’s wife AND other sales people SOOOOO knowledgeable, friendly, helpful with ideas, and patient with indecisive shopper! Never pressuring customers to buy or making recommendation just to make a sale. Today I overheard sales person talking customer out of a selection because item was not age appropriate for young recipient.
If you need a gift or need to treat yourself to a gift, this is the place!

ALOHA! Always a Pleasent Experience @ Elements! Friendly Personal Service! Great Jewelry & Crafts! This is the place you truly feel the «Hawaiian Spirit» can’t wait to get back home to the Big Island to revisit! Cherish the custom paper bug you made for me! John & Irene

Needed earrings to go with the new hat and tunic I bought for a ranch wedding anniversary celebration, so I popped into Elements. Prakash (the owner) picked out a pair for me to try and her eye was so good there was no point in trying anything else. Perfect! I did buy a second pair of John Flynn earrings that my husband was attracted to and insisted I had to have. Seriously, when I need a gift or a piece of jewelry, Elements is always my first stop. Elegant and affordable.

Although I have still never received an apology for the rude customer service that I experienced, I do believe that Kapash, store manager, has done her very best to make sure that my merchandise is replaced and/​or repaired properly.

I loved this shop in Hawi, full of beautiful handmade jewelry and other décor items like Christmas ornaments, pottery, and art prints. We had visited the previous location in Kapa’au, and it was great to find it again in Hawi.
The owner was behind the counter and was super friendly, pointing out the items made by locals, including jewelry designed and made by her husband, John Flynn. I had my sights set on a pair of niobium metal earrings made to look like a pair of mangos – so beautiful! Unfortunately they were a little out of our tight vacation budget, so I chose a pair of beautiful glass earrings instead, also handmade by a local.
There’s no hard sell here, and the items speak for themselves. Well-​made, well-​displayed and great items to take home as remembrances of Hawi town and the Big Island.

Elements is a charming little shop in Kapa’au, on the road to the Pololu Valley Lookout.
There’s a variety of goods available, some of them extremely affordable, some more expensive, but all of high quality. The crafts are local: the proprietor told me stories about each of the artists, allowing me to get a feel for the source of the crafts as well as the item itself.
It’s well worth a stop, and if you are looking for a special gift, worth a trip of its own.
The shop cat is a character — you can admire her fur from a distance, but if you want to make friends, you’ll need a bribe!
