Since its inception in the Islands, Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry has undergone many transformations and evolved into many different styles. Trends have gone from enameled names, to carved out letters with lowered backgrounds, to raised and enameled letters, to Kalakoa letters created by Philip Rickard Honolulu. Each Kalakoa letter in The Kalakoa Collection is cut separately, in a different colored gold, and then placed into an exact recessed space on the jewelry before being welded in place. The effect is stunning, unique, and sure to stand the test of trends.
Founded in 1986 by Philip Rickard, Philip Rickard Honolulu is recognized as the world leader in the design and development of traditional and modern Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry. A true "made in Hawaii" company, Philip Rickard Honolulu designs, develops, manufactures, and markets traditional gold Hawaiian Jewelry as well as modern Hawaiian collections right from his factory on the beautiful island of Oahu.
Using technical breakthroughs to perpetuate the spirit of aloha, his specialties range from Hawaiian Wedding Rings and Black Pearl Collections to proprietary and custom Hawaiian Bangle Collections. In addition, Mr. Rickard is known to a worldwide audience as the authority on the history of Hawaiian Jewelry and highly recognized for a passionate dedication to the quality of product, employees and customer service.
If any physical representation can be associated with the Aloha Spirit, it is a piece of Hawaiian Heirloom Jewelry by Philip Rickard Honolulu.
