OUR STORY:
Hi! I’m Michelle the founder of XO Hanalei Jewelry. I was born and raised in the small town of Hanalei, Kauai.
When I was younger I was obsessed with jewelry, but I could never find jewelry that was affordable, good quality and could handle the lifestyle of living on an island.
I would find myself shopping at places like Claire’s to find cute trendy jewelry.
The problem was that they always ended up turning my skin green and irritating my ears and skin.
That’s when I decided to start my own jewelry business using 14k gold filled and other hypoallergenic high quality materials.
Now I don’t ever have to worry about my skin getting irritated and my jewelry changing colors.
Throughout the years XO Hanalei grew from my passion to my business. I hope my jewelry not only makes you feel beautiful, but also inspires you to follow your dreams and passions.
XO- Michelle
