New Artists to Maui Hands

Pearl Jewelry

by Glorious Oceanic Creations

Artist Statement:
While touring Tahiti, I hand select all of my pearls based on seven factors:
size, shape, color, luster, nacker thickness, surface quality and orient. My line is created for everyday wear. This combination of fine leather and Tahitian pearls perfectly compliment one another.

Available at Maui Hands in Makawao

Work to Address Rapid Ohi’a Death on Hawai’i Island  

In mid November, work began to remove several Ohi’a trees at the Kalopa Street Recreation Area on the Big Island. These trees have shown symptoms of the fungal disease known as Rapid Ohi’a Death.
Crews used a lift to remove infected and dead trees and also installed boot-brush station at trailheads in the state recreation area. These stations have brushes and isopropyl alcohol to use on footwear which will help prevent the spread of the disease.
