Na Mea Nani is a company that is locally owned and operated in Hawaii, and the name ‘Na Mea Nani’ translates from Hawaiian to ‘the beautiful things’. Each piece of jewelry is individually handcrafted by jewelry maker, owner, and operator- Nani Gima. The company name originated from Nani’s name as well as her ability to create ‘the beautiful things’ here on display. The inspiration for her business started from Nani’s upbringing in the countryside of Kaaawa where she would be surrounded by the beautiful scenery, plants and wildlife that Hawaii has to offer. Coming from a talented family of jewelry makers and entrepreneurs, handmade jewelry has always been a passion of hers. She hopes to share that passion and appreciation for the land and culture of Hawaii through her jewelry with you.
