Remembering the Family

2010 was the year of the Kometani Family Reunion.  This summer it was held at the Hilton Waikaloa Hotel for three days with some 130 family and friends now reaching 6 generations.  Traveling from all areas of the United States, we gathered for some good local food, competitive games and just plain ol’ camaraderie and “catching up.”

The family crest or MON is the logo design used for correspondences, website and ti-shirt.   This year we wanted to offer a more permanent memento of the weekend…so a silver charm that could be added to a charm bracelet or worn as a pendant was created.  The design was cut into a round medallion…simple and precise.

Let us create a pendant or charm for your special group be it a family crest, a club emblem, or a team logo.  We can produce this in Sterling silver  for special remembrance.

Minimum orders may pertain.   Please call or email us for more information.

Repousee, S’il Vous Plait

Bad French!!! Maybe, however Repoussee is not your fancy wine but is a term used in the field of jewelry and metal sculptures.

RepouseeRepousee is the technique used to craft most of Paradisus’ designs and is what gives it’s unique feel and voluptuous look. Repousee is an old French technique where metal is hammered from the back giving an organic natural form.  One of the most famous sculptures done in this method is the French made American “Statue of Liberty.”  Once the form or body is set, the details are scribed, textured and embellished to give it the finish to complete the story.

For many of the Paradisus’ Collections such as the Monstera and Lauhala, the pieces are then finished with a backing to stabilize the final form.  Each piece is individually ‘handmade” by Artisans in Indonesia who have managed to keep this technique alive.

Your piece is special and one of a kind….we hope you love and appreciate the craftsmanship.

Palm Palm Kaua'i - Best Jewelry Store

If you’re on Kaua’i, Hawaii stop in to see Marjorie at Palm Palm Kaua’i…Marjorie De Souza has been a Paradisus retail partner since 2007. She is our first and only shop in Kauai’. Palm Palm Kaua’i is tucked in the town of Koloa, a country stop on the way to Poipu but Palm Palm Kaua’i is hardly “country.” The large beautiful store has lots to look at and even more to buy. Marjorie will be there to give you some special Aloha.

Sunday at Japonica

Thank you everyone for joining us at Japonica. It was great meeting all the committed members and friends of the Pacific Asian American Women Bay Area Coalition. Yummy foods, lots of eye candy and the introduction of Paradisus Silver Jewelry to new buyers and old friends made it a fun afternoon at Japonica.

If you haven’t been to Japonica, you MUST stop by. If you’ve forgotten a special event, need a hostess gift, need a card or just a great cup of coffee, this is the place to get it. It’s got great gifts selected with great taste that will make anyone happy and that includes flowers.

Thank you, Val and PAAWBAC!!!
