Manukai World

Manuela, the founder of Manukai Jewelry, creates an aesthetic dialogue between the antique and the contemporary. Vintage corals are reimagined with a classic, timeless sensibility, enhanced by refined enamel details woven into delicate chains.

Each piece is crafted by hand, inspired by island beauty and guided by a minimal, fine-jewelry approach. Antique corals, saltwater pearls, rare keshi, and colorful tourmalines form the signature elements of Manukai’s universe.

Raised sailing across the Mediterranean, Manuela developed an intimate relationship with the sea—an influence that naturally shapes her work. Manukai jewelry is feminine, romantic, and graceful, designed to feel light on the skin yet rich in meaning.

“Color makes me happy. I love blending pearls and gemstones to create a harmonious composition—elements meeting softly on the skin, like a delicate lace.”

Manuela has been creating jewelry for over ten years and now designs her collections in Honolulu.
