Mele Kalikimaka and happy holiday season, everyone.

As the year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you from my heart to all of you for being here and for supporting my work throughout the year. It has meant more to me than I can truly express. Knowing that my creations have found their way into your lives — near and far, across Hawaiʻi, the mainland, Japan, and even parts of Europe — fills me with so much gratitude.

Mele Kalikimaka is the Hawaiian way of saying Merry Christmas. From my heart to yours, I would love to share this greeting with all of you and your ʻohana, no matter where you are in the world. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a holiday season filled with warmth, peace, love, and meaningful moments together.

It means so much to me knowing that my Niʻihau shell jewelry (ニイハウシェルジュエリー) is appreciated not just as jewelry, but for the care, patience, and stories behind each shell ✨

Niʻihau Shell Jewelry — A Fun Time of Packing With Gratitude

Throughout the year, there have been so many meaningful moments of packing orders and sending my creations off to their new homes. During the holiday season especially, it becomes a fun and busy time as many orders come in, and I truly appreciate your understanding that I’m unable to take custom orders during this period.

Each order that comes in is carefully packed with gratitude before being sent out. I often imagine the moment it’s received and opened, and I hope it brings a smile and a little happiness. Knowing that my work brings joy to others is what makes this process so meaningful to me.

Honored to Be Part of Your Gifts and Memories

I am truly honored that you trust me and my work, and that you choose my creations to be given to someone you love. Whether it’s for an anniversary, a wedding, a graduation, the holidays, a birthday, Mother’s Day, or another meaningful occasion, each of these moments is important. Thank you for choosing my jewelry to be part of those special memories. Your trust and support mean more to me than words can express ❤️
