Aloha Estate Jewelry About Us

Me Ke Aloha Pumehana (With Warm Aloha)

Member Of The Hawaii Jewelers Association

Aloha Estate Jewelry is a small family-owned and operated business. We are located and hold a jewelry business license in beautiful Honolulu, Hawai'i on the island of O'ahu, and we are a Retail Member of the Hawaii Jewelers Association. We have been in the estate, vintage, and antique jewelry business for over 30 years. We specialize in Estate, Vintage, and Antique Jewelry of all types.

To ensure the quality of the items being sold we scrupulously test each item for the advertised precious metals purity using industry-standard Gold, Silver, and Platinum testing processes. Each gemstone is individually examined for authenticity. We additionally test each Diamond visually and electronically using the Presidium Multi-Tester III (PMUT-III) to ensure that it is natural and earth-mined, and NOT a synthetic diamond such as Cubic Zirconia or Moissanite. Colored stones (Rubies, Emeralds, Tourmaline, Topaz, etc.) are visually examined and further authenticated within the electronic testing ranges of Presidium's Colored Stone Gem Tester (PGT) and the Presidium Colored Stone Gem Indicator (PGI). Specific Gravity (SG) testing and both the Presidium Refractive Index (RI) Meter (PRIM II) and traditional manual RI Metering are also used to further evaluate and authenticate colored gemstone types.

If there are ever any questions about any item we have advertised please contact us using the Form on our Contact Page.

We source many of our jewelry items from island estates, and also through jewelry trade auctions, estate liquidators, jewelry trade brokers, and other sources. We keep our costs and overhead, and subsequently our pricing, low:

By negotiating fair but competitive prices with sellers, usually for multiple items which further discounts costs
By purchasing entire jewelry lots at jewelry trade auctions and liquidations
By maintaining a robust but selective and limited inventory which we hand-pick
By having no brick-and-mortar store and associated overhead costs

These practices allow us to sell incredibly beautiful and one-of-a-kind pieces of estate, vintage, and antique jewelry at well below their retail, fair-market, value. We unequivocally guarantee our items to be as-advertised for gemstone and gold-purity and we back that guarantee with a no-questions-asked 14-day return policy.
