Lava Luxe by Elle

Really enjoyed this shop. They have very nice silver and gem Hawaiian jewelry, including a local artist line, Sassafras. We bought a silver 'lava tube' on a chain that looks amazing. There were also some unbelievable gallery photographs from a local photographer printed on glass and steel. Lots of red volcano lava erupting at night against amazingly photographed astronomy like the moon and milky way in the background. By far the nicest part of the whole experience was meeting Debbie. She was an absolute joy to get to know. She is friends with most of the local artists featured there and her knowledge and passion about the jewelry and art shows through strongly. We even got to meet her little dachshund.

I visited Kona this past summer with my partner and we visited Lava Luxe several times throughout the trip. I was amazed at the variety in jewelry that Elle offers in store. Her staff are the kindest folks and we had a pleasure talking with Marcus on several occasions when we walked by the shop. He is delightful and his knowledge of the pieces and customer service were outstanding. The photo is of a labradorite bracelet I bought for my mom’s birthday this year. Thanks again for the help in selecting the right piece, Marcus! My partner also bought a necklace and some emerald earrings which were stunning. Can’t wait to visit again soon!
