Nalani Rings from Na Hoku

Our Nalani Rings
Originally uploaded by webnelly

As mentioned from our '08 Trip Journal from the day before we left Maui, here are the rings we bought from Na Hoku at Whalers Village. They're from their Nalani collection, which is Hawaiian for The Heavens. Neither one of us is a big fan of yellow gold, and most of what Cindy owns is white gold. However, we really liked the dual-tone look of these rings and that was it. Now, even though we weren't married on Maui (otherwise known as Mauied), we still both wear a matching set of rings from the island that we love.

For me, this ends a three year search for a ring from Maui that I actually like. There was one last year that we found at the Shops of Wailea which was platinum with a band of black coral that was absolutely stunning. The fact that it was $1,600 was perhaps more stunning, and I can't really justify spending that amount of money on myself for a piece of jewelery. It would, though, buy me quite a bit of photography equipment or other techie toys. :)

Cindy always ends up getting new "hardware" while we're on vacation, and she really cleaned up this year. Not only did she get the ring from this photo (the smaller one if you couldn't guess), she also got a new pearl ring to replace the one from our first trip and a second toe ring that closely resembles the Nalani ring, too. I think she bought a bracelet, too, at the gift shop at the Ocean Center, but that's not as elaborate.

Aloha for now, and I'll be continuing to go through photos this week and uploading them to Flickr. Eventually I'll be adding the new pages to the site, too. Just wanted to share a little something each day and try to get into that habit.

Mahalo.
