Let's Talk About It
Let's be real, jewelry today isn't what it used to be. As a little girl, I would watch my mother open her jewelry box and wonder the story behind each treasure she would pick out to wear for the day. I didn't sit and think if it was real or precious, it was simply a given. I couldn't wait for the day I had the same to share with my own kids. Creating those timeless and fun pieces is my everyday. We use recycled precious metals that create long lasting go-to jewelry. Gold Fill is our metal of choice often paired with semi precious stones.
Behind The Scenes
My name is Mikaela and I am the Founder and Designer of Malani and Lehua Jewelry Co.
I hail from the beautiful island of Maui. My passion for making jewelry came from a long line of powerful, creative women I get to call my family. Right out of high school, I worked at my grandmother's bead shop learning the tricks of the trade. I continued my jewelry making journey, working for a well known local artist. She gave me the freedom to create, and to think outside the box. This awoke a fire for designing within me. The rest feels like history, a long, yet beautiful, road to get where I am to this day.
I've been making jewelry for over 10 years now. I love nothing more than helping women find their unique style by stepping into who they are made to be. Adding a piece of jewelry is just the adornment to the masterpiece.
It's a dream to be able to create pieces of wearable art. Simple, fun, and true-to-yourself jewelry. Keeping it simple is my goal, but I can't help having a few showstopper pieces.
Let's spice things up together!
