About
Li'ili'i means
little.
Small ting. Little bit. Itsy-bitsy. Small kine. However you say it at home, it means the same thing — and it's the whole idea behind what we make.
The little things are the ones you keep. A chain your sister picked out beside you. A honu the size of a grain of rice, because you saw one at Hanauma that morning. The faint tan line it leaves after a summer of never taking it off.
We're a Hawai'i permanent jewelry studio with the largest selection of island-inspired charms you'll find on O'ahu — everything in 14k gold filled and sterling silver, everything fitted and welded right at the table.
Made fresh daily, with aloha.

The experience
How it works
Clasp-less jewelry, customized just for you. About fifteen minutes from sitting down to walking away.
-
01
Pick your chain
Try on styles in 14k gold filled or sterling silver — dainty, bold, textured, or somewhere in between. Wrist, ankle, neck, finger, or across the hand.
-
02
Visit the charm bar
Honu, plumeria, monstera, shaka, pineapple, pearls, birthstones, initials. Choose one that means something, or build a whole row.
-
03
Measured to you
We size the chain to your exact wrist with just the right amount of drape. Nothing is cut until it looks right on you.
-
04
Welded closed
A small, quick weld joins the final jump ring. You'll feel nothing. Then it's on — through the ocean, the shower, and the rest of the trip.
The charm bar
Island-inspired charms
Our reason for being, and the biggest tray you'll find at a permanent jewelry table in Hawai'i. All 14k gold filled & sterling silver.
- Honu Sea turtle — long life, good luck, and the way home.
- Plumeria The flower behind the ear. Sweetest thing on the island.
- Monstera A single leaf of shade, cut in gold.
- Shaka Hang loose — the friendliest thing a hand can say.
- Pineapple Hospitality, sweetness, a little plantation history.
- Hibiscus Bright, open, unmistakably Hawai'i.
- Starfish & shells A pocketful of shoreline.
- Pearls & opals Freshwater pearls and flashes of fire.
- Initials Yours, theirs, or the whole family in a row.
- Birthstones Everyone's month, in tiny bezels.
…and a great deal more at the table. The tray is the part people underestimate — come see the whole thing.
The chains
Every one has a name
Figaro, paperclip, satellite, heart link, rope, box, bar — each style hangs on the rack with its own little tag. You'll find the one that's yours.
Chains are priced by the inch, charms individually — we'll walk you through everything before anything is welded.

Good to know
Questions
What is permanent jewelry?
It's clasp-less jewelry that's customized just for you. First you pick out a chain. We measure it for the perfect fit and place it on with a small weld. Select a charm if you wish!
Does the welding hurt?
No. We shield your skin, and the weld itself is a quick, cool spark on the jump ring — not on you. Most people are surprised when we tell them it's done.
What if I need to take it off?
Simply cut the welded jump ring with nail clippers — for an MRI, a job, or any reason at all. Keep the piece, and when you're ready it can easily be welded back on.
How long does it last?
It's made to stay on. 14k gold filled and sterling silver both hold up to daily wear in Hawai'i — ocean, shower, sunscreen, gym. Silver may patina over time; a quick polish brings it back.
Is 14k gold filled the same as gold plated?
No, and the difference matters. Gold filled has a thick, bonded layer of real 14k gold — many times more gold than plating. It doesn't flake and it won't turn your skin green.
Can I come with a friend?
That's most of what we do. Friends, sisters, mothers and daughters, couples, bachelorette parties. For four or more, message us ahead so we can plan for your group.
Can kids get one?
Yes, with a parent or guardian there. We're happy to size for small wrists and ankles.
What does it cost?
Chains are priced by the inch and charms individually, so it depends on what you choose and how much you add. We'll show you the pricing at the table and confirm the total before anything is welded — no surprises.
Do you take walk-ups?
Always. Come by the Hyatt Regency Waikīkī on a Monday or Wednesday between 3:30 and 8pm and sit down whenever there's a chair open.
