Crafting has always has my creativity going... Kim Trading is my road to happiness literally as this places is filled with rainbows of bliss for beading, jewelry and the limit is just your imagination. I'd say its' difficult for anyone to beat it's prices with her impressive selections with not just beading but findings and is definitely a great option to always check her out for comparison as I didn't do that and paid dearly for my poor decisions. Located on Maunakea Street directly across from the Marketplace entrance with municipal parking right across the street makes it a super convenient being crafty has it's challenges as I circled and circled not only searching but hoping to see that item to spark that idea bubble in my head. The owner is just the nicest and friendly giving you plenty of space yet will be there for any support or questions you may have. I've seen many who came here to be saved by items that were broken or needed to be put together without trying to make a quick buck. Honestly a place that brings so much joy in our precious items are simply a rare find. Thank you!

I always come here to buy freshwater pearls. Uncle and Aunty always are so welcoming and helpful in picking out just what I need. They also have a variety of other beads, jewels, pearls, and assorted jewelry. Definitely recommend stopping by and checking it out.

Daughter found this place on Yelp. She makes bracelets as her little hustle and she wanted to see what this place was all about. Let's just say that she spent an hour in there and I came out with $200 less. To say the least, she found great deals, beautiful stones and it kept her busy. Great place!

If you live here on O'ahu or happen to be visiting the Gathering Isle & you love stones, Kim Trading on Maunakea Street in downtown Honolulu is the place to visit! They have the best prices, the best selections but most, the best Customer Service EVER! They are welcoming, they are kind and always nice. My partner and I have been going to them for years & we have always loved the experience. They always make sure that anything we buy, if full filling our wishes and they will even fix it to make sure it fits, especially bracelets! I fully recommend them 1000000% They are AWESOME! It is a total hidden GEM filled with lots of GEMS!

If you want a bead store for finding strands of facetted crystal, pearls, jade, coral hanging from overhead displays, in long display cases and more in all colors stop by. The owner is very gracious and leaves you alone to browse or shows you many choices of what you may be looking for. Browsing is the best part. Taking it all in while a sweet tabby greets you with a kiss and a round little pug behind his guard gate shows you he’s serious about keeping watch.

This is a hidden gem...quite literally! The owner is wonderful and friendly, and he helped us match a few bracelets to create a whole ensemble. He also wrapped everything very carefully for the trip home and gave us a few freebies. Wonderful people, cute pug napping in the corner, and great prices!!

Recommend this store to anyone who loves crystals or anyone new to exploring them. This place has amazing high energy beads of all kinds. Beautiful tourmaline, citrine, amethyst and more. The customer service is superb, you can tell that the owner really cares about making sure you get the right piece of jewelry. Friendly staff with excellent prices! I compared stones and prices to other more expensive stores and I'd say come here hands down!! You won't be disappointed!! Expect to leave happy and high vibing!!

We got just what we wanted for my wife's beading hobby and were pleased with the prices. In fact, we were so pleased that we went twice!
