Dolphin Galleries

I made a key purchase here, back a few years, on DD and my first trip to Maui… when she graduated from UC Berkeley.
I started my Denny Wong collection with a beautiful Plumeria necklace from here.

One of the islands most clumsily copied pieces of jewelry… the plumeria line by Wong is delicate… just like the flower.
I have continued to acquire pieces, earrings, and a bracelet. This year I did not add to, but thoroughly enjoyed my beautiful and timeless jewelry.

Usually, I don’t go for «chain» galleries, especially in Mall situations. But I love this gallery for several reasons. They aren’t huge, and they don’t carry cheesy paintings. They have mostly high end jewelry and some small sculpture, some really nice things. I always find something here (my husband is awesome and always gets me something!)
The best part of this place is the sales staff, specifically Donna Abdill. Ask for her! True story: 3 years ago, I fell in love with a gold «petroglyph» style turtle pendant. It was a little pricey and we went by there several times, and then bought it, from her. She was great, letting me try on all sorts of very expensive things even after I told her I was only buying the turtle. She was fun and super warm and friendly. 2 years later we came back, I saw a gorgeous coral pendant in the window and went in to try it on. We had Donna again; and at one point she said, you look familiar? I said well, we were here but a couple years ago. Then to my total surprise she said, didn’t you buy the petroglyph turtle pendant? We were floored!
There is no shortage of jewelry stores in Maui (although many/​most of them carry mass produced junk), but we’ll always come back here, for the great jewelry and Donna!
