Awesome little shop. Stopped in and ended up buying an ornament while my brother bought some pottery. Such cool pieces and I'm glad to find a place that supports local artists. Stop in. Located in a nice town that is walkable.

Found some great art and local jewelry here. Both the ladies there were super sweet and knew a lot about the artists.

If you love unique art, do not miss this place. From sea glass necklaces, handmade bags, stuffed animals, to paintings and prints, they have an amazing selection. Very friendly staff as well.

I happened to walk by this little store on the way to get ice cream, and was attracted to the sparkly earrings in the window. We made time to visit before we left Hawi, and I wish we had spent more time there. So many lovely things to see! I ended up with two pairs of earrings and a beautiful woodblock print of an endemic bird. This shop is well worth a visit.

We love visiting the town of Hawi when on the big island, and this is a beautiful shop. My three daughters and I went i to shop and browse the lovely merchandise. We followed the rules of masking and sanitizing at the door. We tried not to be too put off by the owner hovering as we shopped, as she was giving information about the local artisans. This all changed when she started questioning my daughter about a pair of earrings she picked up and admired- basically accusing us of stealing. I might mention my daughters are adult- not young children We left with a terrible impression and will not be returning.

We visited Elements on Sat Oct 16 and found a nice wood print (maybe a lithograph). They offered to ship it to us, and just received it less than 1 week.

I visited Elements Jewelry & Crafts in September 2021 after having a wonderful lunch next door at Bamboo Restaurant & Gallery. I'm always on the hunt for earrings and found a pair of lovely Leighton Lam earrings. This shop has a great selection of really beautiful jewelry, pottery, and artwork. The owner commented that my husband and teenage son were very patient as they cooled their heels waiting for me to make a selection. I responded that I was under great pressure to find something since I only had a few minutes to browse. I can't wait to return to visit this shop the next time we visit the Big Island!

Wow, such a beautiful selection of jewelry and crafts from local artists. And I felt Covid safe even in this small space - thanks to the staff for making the extra effort to follow the rules even though it’s probably hurting their business.

These people are a rip off and don't recieve you with true Aloha spirit. Try next door at Hawaii fine arts.

It's unfortunate, because we love to patronize and support local businesses and we were intending to purchase a piece of art to take home. But the owner/employee was the most unfriendly person we've run into in 9 days in Hawaii. She barked at us to use hand sanitizer at the door (which we were fine with doing, and, yes, we were all wearing masks), but then never said hello or greeted us in any way. She then proceeded to glare at us and give us the stink eye the entire time we looked around the store. My wife dropped her sunglasses on the floor at one point and perhaps she thought we knocked something down. But the way to address that is to engage and talk to us and not just glare. I feel bad for the local arts and crafts people who hope to sell their goods in this place. They won't have much success as long as this lady is running the joint.

There are plenty of unique items in this store, that's for sure! We wandered in here (there are not many places to do so in this town) last month. The lady working here was friendly enough and not hovering, so that was a plus. She did get a little spastic when a lady entered shortly after us and failed to spritz her hands with the sanitizer at the door (guess what lady, we didn't either when we came in). Anyhow, the only thing that caught my attention were some fabric oriented handcrafted / hand woven ornamental cushions / wall pieces designed as colorful fish. Actually they caught my under 2 years old grand daughter's attention HAHAHA. I had not bought her a real souvenir on our trip yet and since we were babysitting, while mom and dad zip lined somewhere nearby, I let her pick one out from the dozen present. There were no price tags denoting the cost of these rightfully beautiful items; hmmmmm. She gleefully chose one and we went to the counter. Okay I'm on vacation and expect to pay a little extra for whatever, especially in Hawaii. Cha ching, that'll be $75. WTF? Damn, I was expecting a high of MAYBE $45. So, yes, they have some very nice and unique items in this store, but be prepared to drop a few more coins than expected. Yes, I bought the woven colorful fish for my baby doll anyhow. I wasn't about to disappoint the wee one and I had to be stoic in front of my wife who was laughing internally at me, knowing I can be a cheap a*** This thing was made in Sri Lanka and is suppose to be a one of a kind item. Even if it's not I doubt my granddaughter and her parents will ever bump into anyone having anything similar. Fast forward a month later - she has named the fish (Bubbles), sleeps with it regularly, and carries it with her on outings. So, I guess it was well worth the $$$. If I ever had a reason to go back to this part of the island I'd probably return and see what the latest unique thing the owner has in there. Who knows, I may end buying something else too. The place was A-OK in my books.
