Five events worth waiting for (in no particular order):

-Your first kiss
-Your first real kiss
-Finding a boyfriend without PPS (Peter Pan Syndrome)
-Finding a perfect pair of jeans
and
-The grand reopening of Seaweed Boutique.

It’s true, Lauren Hewett Caldiero’s handcrafted Pua Jewelry is finally back online today at Seaweed Boutique after a vacation-slash-maternity leave. And now that her focus is all about baby, she’s thinking scaled down for her business, too—which means her practical, easy day-to-night jewels are even more exclusive than when they were sold at LA’s Fred Segal and Kitson boutiques.

She plans to add new pieces when inspired, but for now you can snatch timeless favorites like hand-forged yellow gold, pink gold and silver bangles dripping with black pearls or cast puka shells, an understated gold cowrie choker, and a gorgeous, overstated one-inch sterling silver puka ring. Or, simply update your Hawaiian bracelet collection with a nouveau version made of hammered gold bangles hand-stamped with your desired name or letters.

Each made-to-order adornment is personally fashioned in her Kaimuki garage, and even as gold prices soar, Lauren keeps her charms reasonably priced by always selling at wholesale.

See, patience really is golden (and silver, too!).
