Eight years ago, Wings Hawaii, an all-woman run clothing and jewelry company, started as an art project at the University of Hawaii.
Now the Maui-based line sells their handmade, beach-inspired designs at stores all over Hawaii (Oahu, Kauai and Maui), the mainland (New York, California, Georgia and Washington) and online at wingshawaii.com.
I couldn’t resist this ring ($40) and pair of earrings ($50) I spotted at a Local Motion T-shirt store.
All of their jewelry is made from sterling silver, 14-karat gold fill, semi-precious stones and shells from local beaches. Prices range from $20 for a sterling silver ring to $1,800 for a sapphire necklace.
It may be six months before I’ll be able to pair these pieces with a sundress and sandals, but, until then, at least I can daydream about warm waters, surfing and white sand beaches. 
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

The ring is beautiful, it looks unique
I love it too. I’m now wishing I picked upa silver one…
The earrings look interesting– never seen anything like it
Yeah, me too! That’s why I had to have a pair.
The water looks so gorgeous and warm…I wish we had that kind of weather right now! I love the ring so much, instantly makes me think of summer! That’s quite a wide price range!

Yes it is! I like that they have some really affordable items in the mix.
Karen,
That beach looks so comfy and warm! I love the ring, a little different from what you usually see.
I gotta look it up later!
Hi Rawwrhearts,
It was! The water was a little chillier than it would be in the summer, but it was still wonderfully warm.
I hope you give their jewelry a look soon.
Pretty jewelery
And Wow! The weather seems to be amazing there in Hawaii…I love beaches 
It’s already started snowing here

It’s really nice there in the winter 70s, with some rain. It’s usually warm rain, though.
Love the rings!
I love them too! They quite a few really beautiful cocktail-sized ones on their site I’ve got my eye on.
Maui is such a fantastic place! The earrings are pretty

I like Maui a lot, too. I’ve only been there twice but I’d love to go back.
Love the ring, it’s beautiful! The earrings are very pretty too.

Thanks, Gio!
Those shell earrings are so cool!
I wore ‘em on the flight home yesterday. I like reaching up and feeling the shells between my fingertips… it’s kinda comforting.
They’re the kind of earrings that you can wear around the house in the winter months to perk yourself up. Like happy-jewelry.
pretty stuff!! I love that style of jewelry. The ring is to die for.
There’s going to be a craft fair at the University in Missoula today! I always browse the handmade jewelry and just marvel at what these people do. One of my favorite pieces was a hairstick made out of an antique spoon! SO cool.
I missed my chance a few months ago to snag some fingerless mittens (coolest accessory EVER) and I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll be able to find a pair today!
Hi Shannon,
I’ve visited your school university once! I had a friend who went to law school there. The campus is really pretty.
BTW, good luck with finding the fingerless mittens.I’m thinking I need a pair myself.
i <3 the ring !!! so pretty and so unique!
I love it too. I’m kinda kicking myself for not picking up a silver one, so thank goodness they have an online store.
ohhh pls dont tempt me!
It would be a nice Christmas present! You need to treat yourself.
I love both pieces you got — especially the ring! Checking out their website now. Thanks for sharing. Hope your trip was relaxing.
Hi Kerry,
Didja find anything you liked?
I wish I was in Hawaii right now! I’ve never been, but I’m sure it’s a million times better than all this snow and cold surrounding me right now.
Also, I really like that ring. I mean, a whole lot. That’s the kind of ring that I could wear every day, since I bet it goes with everything.

It totally goes with everything. I’ve seen it on the website paired with the silver version and it looks really chic and modern.
Very pretty earrings and rings…

It’s cold and rainy here in Italy – it’s cool to see that at least you can enjoy some sea and sun!!!
Love the earrings! I so badly want to visit Hawaii…. hopefully one day
