In the early 1900s, coat of arms jewelry were a high demand item by former subjects of the Hawaiian Kingdom. This particular style was produced by some of the islands best silversmiths, modeled after King Kalakaua’s Akahi Dala from 1883. They came in many sizes and color variations. We did our best to stay true to the original design without directly reproducing it, keeping it within the limits of the variations of the original makers from that era.
Our rendition has the rarely used black background, which not only fits our vibe, but stands out beautifully from the gold. Individually die-struck from solid brass, double gold plated, and hand enameled, these pieces are made to last.
We've now also added the traditional white background (with upgraded enamels) to our coat of arms line-up, a must-have for all the purists out there.
Finished size about 1x1¼ in (28x32 mm).
