Exclusive Loree Rodkin jewelry at Ala Moana

Paula Rath
Advertiser Staff Writer

Loree Rodkin, best known for her modern-meets-medieval, romantic-meets-gothic designs, has been inspired by her frequent Hawai'i vacations to create a collection that will be sold exclusively at her Ala Moana boutique.

The Fleur de Lis pendants are available to order through the store. One is crafted from yellow gold and features nine large sapphires surrounded by smaller sapphires; it sells for $32,500. The second pendant is crafted from sterling silver and cubic zirconias; it retails for $5,000.

"It's so natural for me to design when I'm here," Rodkin said in a news release. "There is so much beauty and color everywhere, it puts me in such a creative state of mind. This collection reflects that serenity."
