Susu’s Studio & Design is a jewelry shop and studio offering local shells, beads, metals, and tools for creating custom jewelry. It is a hidden gem with cool beads, great jewelry, and insane prices, including nice pearls without resort costs. The business offers classes to make your own jewelry and provides studio time for experienced creators. It is a really good place for all kinds of arts and crafts, leather works, and cool things for your house or outside, and is a great place for kids. Some visitors note the studio has only one pounding station, which can cause wait times, and recommend picking beads ahead and setting a timer to manage costs. While bracelets come out beautiful, the experience can be concerning due to up-charging and extra time fees.
Susu is amazing, friendly and has the best assortment of jewelry. I have bought around 50 pieces from her over the many years I have been going to Maui. Her store is so much fun to browse through. Looking forward to seeing her the next time I’m in Kihei.
