Our Story

 

Aloha!

 

Hiwa Creations is a small, family-run business based in Kalihi on the island of Oʻahu, Hawai‘i. Hiwa Creations is dedicated to crafting thoughtful, uniquely designed Koa jewelry and quality woodcrafts that reflect the nature and culture of Hawai‘i. Our work focuses on sustainability, using reclaimed and discarded local wood, such as koa, to create one-of-a-kind pieces while honoring the land and its resources.

"Hiwa Creations " is named after our child, Hiwalani. When translated to english, Hiwalani means beloved child. With each and every one of our pieces or creations, comes a lot of care, attention to detail, and ALOHA. Each product is like one of our kids too!

Our goal is sharing OUR ALOHA, as well as the Nature & Culture of our island home through our designs, products, and repurposing and reusing as much of the wood as we can.
